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 ...

Printed sensors as small as a micron are moving from lab-scale novelty to real-world deployment, opening new possibilities ...

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 ...

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 ...

Melexis has introduced a linear Hall sensor for use as a current sensor. With its fast response time and improved stability over operating temperature and over lifetime, the MLX91209CA is optimized ...

Sensors of all types have come a long way in the last few years and tend to be more accurate and more stable than their predecessors. These sensors are not always simple to use. Designers of ...
