Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC rolled out a new dual die, highly programmable linear hall sensor IC that is an ideal solution for safety-critical applications. It incorporates full die redundancy with the ...

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 three-axis linear accelerometer, ST’s AIS2IH switches between its five operating modes on-the-fly to optimize resolution and power consumption. The AEC-Q100-qualified MEMS sensor is intended for non ...

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 ...

Melexis has put two of its MLX90423 three-axis magnetic flux sensors in the same package along with a magnetic wake-up sensor to detect linear and rotary movement in high-reliability applications such ...

When it comes to safety sensor selection, detection quality and reliability are two very important aspects to consider. Ease of installation has not, historically, been a major selection consideration ...

Melexis has introduced a linear Hall sensor for use as a current sensor. With its fast response time and improved stability over operating temperature and over lifetime, the MLX91209CA is optimized ...

This blog follows an NCC press release that CW published in January 2022, after which I interviewed the team involved. I also included their work in my upcoming March 2022 feature article on Sensors.

The sensors can be utilized as encoders because they offer the performance and reliability needed for dynamic closed-loop control. They provide continuous, precise position feedback that permits ...
