Concerns about rare earth magnet costs and systems that depend on them have been discussed for several years. The sensor area is not immune to these problems. “Due to the significant price increases for rare earth magnets, design engineers using Hall-effect sensors have been looking for ways to decrease the total cost of design by […]

Pressure Sensors Target Medical and Industrial Applications
Medical and industrial applications for pressure sensors that are under 150 psi can use low-cost board mounted plastic packaged sensors. Medical applications include hospital beds, oxygen concentrators, wound therapy and blood pressure monitoring. Industrial applications include HVAC transmitters, air movement control, environmental control, leak detection, pneumatic controls and other commercial applications. For these types of […]
Hall-Effect Sensors Target Commutating Brushless DC Motors
Using a quad Hall element and proprietary programming, Honeywell Sensing and Control developed a high sensitivity and fast response, latching sensor without using the traditional chopper-stabilization technique. Benefits of the new design include: high sensitivity, repeatability, and fast response time that all contribute to a more efficient brushless DC (BLDC) motor design. The SS360PT (SO-23 […]
The Value of Adding Options to Sensors
In this Frank Talk about Sensors, Randy Frank talks to Valerie Rothermel-Nelson of Honeywell about a new value added program for sensors. To access the discussion, click here. For more information about the Honeywell value added program, click here.
Adding Value Through Customizable Sensors
Honeywell’s recently announced customizable pressure and thermal sensor solutions promises to shake things up. Previous customers will have to decide if they want more of the unique aspects of their system designed into the sensor. Users that did not chose Honeywell in the past must now consider the new possibilities that could make sensor design-in […]
