What types of sensor outputs can you get from magnetic sensors?
At Sensors Expo 2019, Eduardo Montalvo, an application engineer from Coto Technology, explains a RedRock demo board with the different output responses provided by his company’s sensors. RedRock’s tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) technology can provide both analog and outputs based on the magnetic field. The sensors can be used for proximity detection or position detection such […]
How do sensors for magnetic sensing applications work? Pt 2
At Sensors Expo 2019, Neil Cersell, President of the Cersell Company Inc., explains his company’s magnetic sensors that are available beyond the magnetic actuation market (Pt 1). With the three-wire, solid-state sensor, Cersell solves a rather simple but costly problem. In the North American market, a PNP type is prevalent and in the European market, […]
How do sensors for magnetic sensing applications work? Pt 1
At Sensors Expo 2019, Neil Cersell, President of the Cersell Company Inc., explains his company’s magnetic sensors that are available for magnetic actuation market. The magnetic actuators can be the round line ISO-6432 disposable style, a rectangular box style, tie-rod cylinders, short stroke clamp cylinders and even rotary actuators. All of these designs have a […]

One futuristic approach involves creating an ideal environment for growing food in the air without soil, […]
Absolute single-turn angle sensors
Novotechnik U.S. has introduced the RSB 3600 Series of absolute single-turn angle sensors. The sensors are non-contact sensors with galvanized steel housing and stainless steel shaft with up to 100 N working shaft load for HD version. They are sealed up to IP 69K—depending on version. RSB 3600 Series sensors are EGMR (enhanced giant magnetic […]
New reduction factor 1 sensors with IO-Link combine benefits of two technologies
Pepperl+Fuchs has extended its portfolio to include reduction factor 1 sensors with IO-Link, providing users with even more flexibility, additional features, and diagnostic options. Plant designers have long had to use different types of sensors or deal with time-consuming reconfiguration when tasked with detecting objects made of different types of metal. Standard inductive sensors can […]
How can sensors make a smart ball?
At Sensor Expo 2018 in San Jose, CA, an expert from NXP Semiconductors describes the Internet of Things (IoT) smart ball demo that NXP had in its booth. Sensors in the ball provide real-time data and the system can publish the data to the cloud using IBM Bluemix Services. The data includes 3-axis measurements from […]
What’s new in magnetic sensors?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Evgeny Burmistrov, an engineering manager from Crocus Technology discusses the company’s tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) magnetic sensor technology. For sensing, TMR is used in number of different applications. Crocus is advancing its TMR capabilities toward linear and 2D sensing. Burmistrov shows the response of a TMR sensor measuring the speed of a […]
What’s new in magnetic position sensors?
At Sensors Expo 2018, Vinicius (Vinnie) Cardoso, a field application engineer at Melexis, demonstrates the capabilities of the company’s magnetic position sensors. Using an extremely eye catching 3-D LED structure, he shows how the MLX90333 Triaxis® position sensor indicates the position of a magnet. With red and blue LEDs indicating the north-south poles of a […]
