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. Resources. Directory.

Sensors that carry IP 68 ratings must also exceed IP-67 ratings. LVDTs with an IP rating of 68 are sealed via welding; all wetted parts are constructed of metal, except the connector.

This Design Idea describes a way topresent the sensor response with betterlinearity and a circuit that eliminatesthe need for complex calculations tofind the distance. The built-and-testedunit uses ...

The 3D linear Hall effect sensor is housed in the industry-standard 6-pin SOT26 (Type A1) package and is available at $0.50 for 1,000-piece quantities. A standard-compliance version, ...

A hall effect sensor mounted to the door frame tells me what angle the door is opened to. When I plotted output over angle, my data wasn’t exactly linear but good enough for an electric door opener.

Kaman Precision Products has range of mm-scale displacement sensors that work at temperatures up to 538°C and pressures up to 5,000psi. In use, they mount. ... Distance sensors work up to 538°C and ...
