Magnetic fields can be detected as flux, strength, and directions using magnetic position sensors. Measurement and detection of magnetic fields have long been crucial operations in numerous applications .
The locations, orientations, rotations, and angles of objects, as well as the existence of electric current, can all be monitored using the information gathered from magnetic position sensors (changes and variations of the magnetic field).
Because of this, magnetic position sensors are used in a variety of products, including those for the military, robotics, space equipment, geophysics, industrial measures, and more.
Numerous applications call for new magnetic sensors with robustness, versatility, and other critical technological requirements.
Magnetic encoders, permanent magnet linear contactless displacement sensors, magnetoresistive position sensors, fluxgate sensors, resonant sensors, induction magnetometers, linear variable differential transformers, inductosyn, synchros and resolvers,
Eddy current sensors, variable reluctance sensors, and ferromagnetic and semiconducting magnetoresistors have all been used so far.
The Triaxis high-end range includes the Melexis’s MLX90376 which is based on proprietary technologies. This IC offers a distinctive combination of features that make it ideal for demanding steering wheel angle, throttle valve, and thermal management valve applications. According to ISO 11452-8, the MLX90376 IC demonstrates SFI up to 5mT (4000A/m) for 360-degree rotational applications.
The packaging for this position sensor is available in SMP-4 PCB-less or surface-mount device (SMD) formats. The SMP-4 version facilitates mechanical integration, accelerating design and development. When compared to off-axis tolerances, which are crucial for applications like electric power steering (EPS), the twin stacked die offers a significant advantage. The SOIC-8 (for single-die) and TSSOP-16 (for dual-die) package formats are available for the SMD versions.
The MLX90376 has been created as an ASIL C SEooC in accordance with ISO 26262 and is ASIL compliant. Redundancy for safety-critical applications is provided by specifying a dual-die MLX90376. This enables the device to support system integration up to ASIL D. The MLX90376 provides analog, PWM, SENT, or the particular SENT Short PWM Code (SPC) output options to accommodate a range of applications.
The variety of Allegro’s 3DMAG sensors available allows for mechanically convenient placement of the sensor and selection of the axes of interest to sense the motion that needs to be quantified. For rotary or linear motion detection applications, 3DMAG sensors offer a variety of output protocols, from straightforward analog outputs to high-integrity digital interfaces. These sensors can be used to directly program through a variety of interfaces, operate in high fields without saturation, and do away with on-chip concentrators.
The superior accuracy and on-chip diagnostics of the 3DMAG sensors contribute to an increase in driver, passenger, and public safety for automated and driver-assisted vehicles. They were developed to deliver the measurement accuracy and performance needed to meet the demanding requirements of safety-critical automotive applications. 3DMAG sensors cover all bases with unmatched design freedom for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.
The Global Magnetic Position Sensors market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
In order to accommodate a range of operating situations and application requirements, Honeywell offers a broad line of magnetic position sensors, all of which are designed to provide reliable, long-lasting performance and increased product life.
High-accuracy motion control is made possible by Honeywell SMART Magnetic Position Sensors (Superior Measurement, Accuracy, Reliability, and Thinking), which enhances operational effectiveness and safety.
Their non-contact design eliminates mechanical failure mechanisms and measures the linear, angular, or rotating movement of a magnet attached to a moving object. This minimizes wear and tear, increases dependability and longevity, and decreases downtime.
Honeywell Non-contact Hall-effect Sensors use a solid-state Hall-effect IC to sense the rotation of the actuator shaft and then generate a proportional signal in response to the presence or interruption of a magnetic field.
