C&K’s MPSR series of magnetic sensors are designed for non-contact position and proximity detection in tough dirty environments. The 61mm long housing is aluminium with a stainless steel cable, and ...

Magnetic sensors detect moving ferrous metal. The simplest magnetic sensor consists of a wire coiled around a permanent magnet. A ferrous object approaching the sensor changes magnetic flux through ...

Robotic designs that operate autonomously or alongside human workers offer convenience, efficiency and accuracy, greatly benefiting the manufacturing and industrial sectors. Here, monitoring motor ...

ADI has announced an IC that can not only measure the angle of a nearby rotating magnet, but can count up to 46 complete turns even when the chip has no power. For those who like puzzles, look away ...

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 ...

As the EV market grows, so does demand for robust magnetic field sensors within these vehicles. Stray magnetic fields may diminish the accuracy of these sensors, though, which is where active ...
