3D-printed Magnets: How can you produce a magnet with exactly the right magnetic field? Today, manufacturing strong magnets is no problem from a technical perspective. It is, however, difficult to produce a permanent magnet with a magnetic field of a specific pre-determined shape. That is, until now, thanks to the new solution devised at TU [...]
MPCO Magnets for TMR Angle Sensors MPCO Magnets for Tunnel Magneto-Resistance (TMR) Angle Sensors distributes a magnetic field to reduce angular errors. These magnets offer high-reliability and a magnetization to minimize the error of angle. The magnets for TMR angular sensors feature a high-robustness against the setting area between the magnet and TMR angle sensor. [...]
Reed Switches vs. Magnetoresistive Sensors In a previous post we took a look at magnetic field sensors vs inductive proximity sensors for robot grippers. In this post I am going to dive a little deeper into magnetic field sensors and compare two technologies: reed switches, and magnetoresistive sensors (GMR). Reed Switches The simplest magnetic field [...]
Integrating Hall-Effect Magnetic Sensing Technology into Modern Household Appliances With the extensive variety of solutions available for position, speed, and current sensing applications, designers can select optimal technologies and packages to achieve their commercial and engineering goals. There always remain the same critical elements that must be considered, such as cost, distance of travel, resolution, [...]
