This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The first two parts of this series have dealt with the types of position-sensor technologies commonly utilized in ...
To the extent that you’re familiar with magnetostriction, you probably know that it’s what makes big transformers hum, or that it’s what tips you off if you happen to walk out of a store without ...
Insight on Diodes Inc.’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. How it allows for reliable and high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity detection. Application targets ...
Sensors at left (top to bottom): Heat flux (TFX), in-mold dielectric (Lambient), ultrasonic (Univ. of Augsburg), disposable dielectric (Synthesites) and microwire (AvPro) in between penny and ...
The temperature coefficient of an RTD (resistance-temperature-detector)element is positive. Most stable, linear, and repeatableRTDs are of platinum-metal construction. You can usethe constant 0.00385Ω ...
Every once in a while we stumble across something so simple yet so clever that we just have to call it out. This custom linear Hall effect sensor is a perfect example of this. By way of backstory, ...
The proximity sensor utilizes miniature hall effect technology in an IC package mounted directly on the actuator. The hall effect is an ideal technology with a virtually unlimited on-off cycle life ...
To help you evaluate the True Cost of Ownership (TCO) of commonly used industrial linear position sensors, our first article identified the four most commonly utilized industrial position-sensing ...
