The types of magnetic sensors that are currently available. How the magnetic sensors work. Applications for the different magnetic sensors. Position sensors enable a variety of functions and controls ...

Because optical encoders are functionally similar, “resolution” is often used as a main characteristic for magnetic encoders, a device providing the angle of a magnet attached to a mechanical shaft ...

Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...

A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The latest generation of 3D magnetic position sensors from ams AG uses a pair of sensor elements (pixels) that make it ...

Measuring a magnetic field can be very easy with some pretty low tech, or it can be very high tech. It just depends on what kind of measurement you need and how much effort you want to expend. The ...

The corrosion-resistant RC Si Series of coded-magnet sensors for extreme environments are designed for high-pressure/ high-temperature wash downs. The corrosion-resistant RC Si Series of coded-magnet ...

Trapped electrons traveling in circular loops at extreme speeds inside graphene quantum dots are highly sensitive to external magnetic fields and could be used as novel magnetic field sensors with ...
