Magnetic sensors

What are magnetic sensors

A magnetic sensor is a sensor used to mesure disturbances and changes within a magnetic field such as force, direction and flux. There are different types of sensing sensor that can be used for certain functions such as light, pressure and temperature.

The magnetic sensors promoted by Digimax offer low power consumption, maximum sensitivity, compact dimention, short delivery time and highly competitive prices, and are therefore ideal for the needs of next-generation security, measurement, medical, automotive, instrumentation and industrial markets.

The RR121 sensors range offers multiple configurations of different parameters to enable applications such as proximity sensing, rotary sensing and level sensing.

Areas of application

Magnetic sensors offer a wide range of supply voltages from 1.7 to 5.5 V, ideal for applications ranging from small battery-powered electronics to industrial machinery.

The typical applications for magnetic sensors are motor controllers, proximity detection, rotary sensing, fluid level detection, and consumer electronics.

In general, magnetic sensors can therefore be used for:

• - Proximity sensing;
• - Rotary sensing;
• - Utility meters;
• - Rechargeable portable medical devices;
• - Motor controllers;
• - Consumer electronics.

The magnetic sensors offered by Digimax are ideal for use in medical, industrial, automotive and conumer applications.
