Sensor Solutions Inc.

Company Description

Sensor Solutions was incorporated in Colorado in 1993. It started with a new design of a family of magnetic distance sensors that provided an analog output proportional to the distance to ferrous metal.
This sensor caught on in the test and measurement field. From that product, Sensor Solutions Inc. grew into having over 20 different families of products, all based on magnetic field detection.

The company currently holds 5 patents in magnetic sensing, and we are working on a few more. Over the years we have continued to grow our test and measurement, OEM, and replacement magnetic sensors.
Our current catalog has over 6,000 unique magnetic field sensors.

We regularly develop new magnetic sensors for prototypes, OEM products, OEM replacements, and custom applications. So whether you need a new custom sensor, are trying to replace a magnetic sensor that is no longer available,
or need to replace a magnetic sensor that does not meet your needs; contact us and we can find you a catalog or custom magnetic sensor to meet your needs.



MANUFACTURING:

Sensor Solutions utilizes Modular Manufacturing Concepts in Design and Production, allowing for the widest selection of Magnetic Field Sensors available, built to order with the shortest lead-times in the business.
Design, Assembly, and Testing occur all in one location. American made components are used everywhere possible, and we work with mostly American vendors and partners for any work done outside our facilities.
