Discover the EMakers YF-S401 water flow sensor, expertly designed for Arduino projects. This robust sensor features a durable plastic body and a magnetic Hall effect sensor to accurately monitor liquid flow. Measuring flow in pulses, it provides precise output with every rotation of its integrated blades. The YF-S401 operates effectively in a range of conditions and can handle flows from 0.3 to 6 liters per minute. It's an essential component for hobbyists and professionals alike, looking to enhance their projects with reliable fluid measurement.

The EMakers YF-S401 water flow sensor is a high-quality device tailored for those who require precise fluid measurement in their projects. Featuring a sturdy construction of plastic, this sensor includes a water rotor and a Hall effect sensor that work side by side to ensure accurate readings. The blades on the rotor are equipped with a small magnet that generates output pulses recognized by the Hall effect sensor. For every pulse generated, approximately 2.25 milliliters of fluid is recorded, allowing for accurate tracking of fluid movement regardless of the application. Operating efficiently in a voltage range from 5V to 18V DC, this sensor can manage maximum pressures of up to 1.75 MPa and flow rates between 0.3 to 6 liters per minute. With a wide operating humidity range from 35% to 90% RH, free from frost, and a temperature tolerance of -25ºC to +80ºC, it's built to withstand varying environmental conditions. Please note that while the YF-S401 provides a dependable flow measurement, it is not designed for precision applications requiring more than 10% accuracy. Calibration may be necessary to suit specific needs, but for DIY projects, it proves to be an invaluable tool.

Usage ideas Utilize the EMakers YF-S401 sensor in Arduino-based projects to track water usage in aquariums, automate irrigation systems, or monitor fluid levels in various applications. Create custom flow monitoring solutions for home brewing, hydroponics, or even in educational setups to teach students about fluid dynamics and sensor technologies. Its versatility makes it a great addition for makers looking to develop innovative projects.
