This application note provides guidelines for selecting a magnet to be used in combination with the MLX90333 Triaxis 3D-Joystick Position Sensor when it is desired to apply this IC as a Linear ...

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 ...

A new family of permanent magnet linear displacement (PLCD) sensors is based on the electromagnetic induction principle, which places a primary winding around a soft ...

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, ...

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 ...

Bringing together its expertise in magnetic position sensors and its established linearized tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) technology, Infineon has announced the launch of the XENSIV TLI5590-A6W ...

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 ...

This application note focuses on analyzing the Hall-Effect system that uses two typical Allegro linear sensor integrated circuits in order to expand the displacement range for linear detection. A ...

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...
