Here’s a guide to evaluating and using the latest generation of 3D magnetic sensors, which offer a higher-accuracy alternative to existing 1D Hall-effect sensors. Linear magnetic sensing is becoming ...
Howard A. Schaevitz Technologies Inc. Pennsauken, N.J. Engineers continue to increase their use of linear-position and displacement sensors for providing real-time information to feedback-hungry PLCs ...
FIAMA's F7 position display unit incorporates a magnetic sensor that works together with a magnetic tape scale or a magnetic ring to measure linear and angular movements. The F7 is a 2018 IWF ...
Insight on Diodes Inc.’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. How it allows for reliable and high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity detection. Application targets ...
Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...
Linear sensor ICs are designed to respond to a wide range of positive or negative magnetic fields. Critical to the performance of linear ICs is their sensitivity and linearity over their specified ...
This application note provides guidelines for selecting a magnet to be used in combination with the MLX90333 Triaxis 3D-Joystick Position Sensor when it is desired to apply this IC as a Linear ...
Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...
Melexis has brought out a linear Hall-effect sensor that draws less than 5 µA at 100 Hz and integrates digital filters for enhanced performance. Its flexible architecture is available in multiple ...
