  2. Magnetostriction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetostriction

    Both of these alloys have <100> easy axes for magnetostriction and demonstrate sufficient ductility for sensor and actuator applications. [6] Schematic of a whisker flow sensor developed using thin-sheet magnetostrictive alloys. Another very common magnetostrictive composite is the amorphous alloy Fe 81 Si 3.5 B 13.5 C 2 with its trade name ...

  3. Wiedemann effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiedemann_effect

    Magnetostrictive position sensors use the Wiedemann effect to excite an ultrasonic pulse. Typically a small magnet is used to mark a position along a magnetostrictive wire. The magnetic field from a short current pulse in the wire combined with that from the position magnet excites the ultrasonic pulse.

  4. Level sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    The principle behind magnetic, mechanical, cable, and other float level sensors often involves the opening or closing of a mechanical switch, either through direct contact with the switch, or magnetic operation of a reed. In other instances, such as magnetostrictive sensors, continuous monitoring is possible using a float principle.

  5. Inverse magnetostrictive effect - Wikipedia

    where is the magnetostrictive expansion at saturation, and is the angle between the saturation magnetization and the stress's direction. When λ s {\displaystyle \lambda _{s}} and σ {\displaystyle \sigma } are both positive (like in iron under tension), the energy is minimum for θ {\displaystyle \theta } = 0, i.e. when tension is aligned with ...

  6. MEMS magnetic actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEMS_Magnetic_Actuator

    The principle of magnetic actuation is based on the Lorentz Force Equation. F → m a g = q v → × B {\displaystyle {\vec {F}}_{mag}=q{\vec {v}}\times B} When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a static magnetic field, the field produced around the conductor interacts with the static field to produce a force.

  7. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    Fluxgate technology principle. Fluxgate sensors or saturable inductor current sensors work on the same measurement principle as Hall-effect-based current sensors: the magnetic field created by the primary current to be measured is detected by a specific sensing element. The design of the saturable inductor current sensor is similar to that of a ...

  8. Electromagnetic acoustic transducer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_acoustic...

    Easier for sensor deployment. Using piezoelectric transducer, the wave propagation angle in the test part is affected by Snell's law. As a result, a small variation in sensor deployment may cause a significant change in the refracted angle. Easier to generate SH-type waves.

  9. Magnetic level gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_level_gauge

    A magnetic level gauge pulled out from inside the valve housing on top of a railway tank car in the United States [1]. A magnetic level gauge is a level gauge based on a float device that can experience floatation in both high and low density fluids.
