TURCK's line of magnetic cylinder position sensors has been expanded to include the BIM-UNR, a miniature sensor designed to mount within C-groove cylinders with no accessories required. Its dimensions ...

TURCK's BIM-UNR magnetic cylinder position sensors offer NPN outputs and a flexible mounting design. Designed to mount within C-groove cylinders, the sensors feature a combination mounting screw that ...

The AMR132x series includes AMR1320 and AMR1321 omnipolar omnidirection magnetic switches. Unlike most magnetic switch sensors that respond to magnetic fields along a single direction, these sensors ...

Quantum mechanics states that electrons have two stable spins—up and down. With the advent of nanoscale fabrication methods, device companies are harnessing this knowledge to create devices. The ...

The types of magnetic sensors that are currently available. How the magnetic sensors work. Applications for the different magnetic sensors. Position sensors enable a variety of functions and controls ...

This article appeared in Electronic Design and has been published here with permission. While most sensors that surround us and make modern technology possible are well-known and understood, magnetic ...

Position feedback sensors for hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders have most commonly used one of three technologies: magneto-strictive (MLDTs), variable resistance (pots), and variable inductance (LVITs) ...

As the demand for greater control and functionality increases, position-sensor-instrumented hydraulic cylinders are becoming more important in the heavy industry, mobile equipment, and subsea worlds.

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...
