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 ...

It is often advantageous to have a single sensor monitor more than one feedback parameter. This is now possible in the case of a linear-position sensor that can track as many as 20 moving positions ...

The global price of energy is at an all-time high, with few signs of relief in sight, making consumers and businesses alike interested in energy conservation. Currently, the most common motor type in ...

These IXARC magnetic encoders withstand harsh environments and are modular for maximum versatility. Rotary encoders measure the rotation of machine shafts and report the results to electronic controls ...

The origins of magnetic steel can be traced back to the 18 th century when scientists began experimenting with iron alloys. In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted's accidental discovery of electromagnetism ...

This brief tutorial explains how the “Wiegand effect” can be used as a reliable, low-cost, energy-harvesting system to power ...
