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 ...

As the demand for greater control and functionality increases, position-sensor-instrumented hydraulic cylinders are becoming more important in the heavy industry, mobile equipment, and subsea worlds.

The wearable sensor market is growing at an annual compound rate of 17.8%. However, sensors have challenges, particularly in terms of miniaturization and power consumption. Several key parameters are ...

Infineon Technologies AG recently launched the XENSIV TLI5590-A6W magnetic position sensor that incorporates the company’s expertise in magnetic position sensing with its linearized tunnel ...

The fast update rate option, available for SSI and EtherCAT® protocols, fulfills high, dynamic requirements by shortening the cycle time for a measured value so the controller can read the absolute ...

• A single linear sensor monitors 20 positions. • Time to read 20 positions matches that of a single position. • Strokes over 5,000 mm, accuracy of ±20 μm, and resolutions of 1 μm. It is often ...

Alliance Sensors Group is pleased to announce the MR Series of Linear Position Sensors for use in measuring the ram position of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. The MR Series is designed to be a ...

But their limited range and linearity limit many of their applications to detecting odd or irregularly shaped targets rather than actual position. On the other hand, inductive linear-position sensors ...
