  2. Hall effect sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect_sensor

    Hall effect devices produce a very low signal level and thus require amplification. The vacuum tube amplifier technology available in the first half of the 20th century was too large, expensive, and power-consuming for everyday Hall effect sensor applications, which were limited to laboratory instruments.

  3. Hall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect

    The term ordinary Hall effect can be used to distinguish the effect described in the introduction from a related effect which occurs across a void or hole in a semiconductor or metal plate when current is injected via contacts that lie on the boundary or edge of the void. The charge then flows outside the void, within the metal or semiconductor ...

  4. Current sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

    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 closed-loop Hall-effect ...

  5. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    An absolute encoder maintains position information when power is removed from the encoder. [5] The position of the encoder is available immediately on applying power. The relationship between the encoder value and the physical position of the controlled machinery is set at assembly; the system does not need to return to a calibration point to maintain position accuracy.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hall_Sensor.webm

    A Hall effect sensor uses the Hall effect to measure the magnitude of a magnetic field. Other languages Čeština: Animace funkce Hallovy sondy využívající Hallova jevu k měření intenzity magnetického pole .

  7. Planar Hall sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar_Hall_sensor

    The planar Hall sensor is a type of magnetic sensor based on the planar Hall effect of ferromagnetic materials. [1] [2] It measures the change in anisotropic magnetoresistance caused by an external magnetic field in the Hall geometry. As opposed to an ordinary Hall sensor, which measures field components perpendicular to the sensor plane, the ...

  8. Variable reluctance sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_reluctance_sensor

    Hall effect sensors are true zero-rpm sensors and actively supply information even when there's no transmission motion at all. One area in which VR sensors excel, however, is in high-temperature applications. Because operating temperature is limited by the characteristics of the materials used in the device, with appropriate construction VR ...

  9. Electromagnetic acoustic transducer - Wikipedia

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

    The magnetostriction effect has been used to generate both SH-type and Lamb type waves in steel products. Recently, due to the stronger magnetostriction effect in nickel than steel, magnetostriction sensors using nickel patches have been developed for the nondestructive testing of steel products.
