The AMR132x series includes AMR1320 and AMR1321 omnipolar omnidirection magnetic switches. Unlike most magnetic switch sensors that respond to magnetic fields along a single direction, these sensors ...

Current sensing technologies and magnetic sensors have evolved remarkably to address the demand for accurate, real‐time monitoring in power distribution networks and industrial applications.

The MK51xx miniature magnetic sensors use giant magnetoresistive (GMR) technology to provide very high sensitivity for sensing the open/closed status of pneumatic cylinders. The 25-mm-long units fit ...

Quantum mechanics states that electrons have two stable spins—up and down. With the advent of nanoscale fabrication methods, device companies are harnessing this knowledge to create devices. The ...

Military leaders have been warning of the fragility of GPS for years and researchers have been working on a variety of solutions, from quantum clocks to inertial navigation. The Air Force is adding a ...

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 ...

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 ...
