Testing Magnetic Field Strength With a Gaussmeter Calculate the baseline or original voltage. This can be done using a gaussmeter, also known as a magnetometer or an EMF detector (electromagnetic field detector), which is a hand-held device that measures the strength and direction of a magnetic field strength. They are readily available to buy and [...]
Micropower Magnetic Node from Melexis for Contactless 3D Sensing in Automotive and Industrial Applications November is Magnetic Sensing Month at Magnetics Magazine! Stay tuned and check the website frequently for new updates on the latest technology for magnetic sensing. Using its Triaxis magnetic sensing technology, Melexis has developed a new monolithic sensor for automotive and [...]
Magnetics technology is flying high, hot and cold in the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter mission to the sun. An extremely sensitive magnetometer built by Imperial College of London is a central element of the journey. A pair of specially configured Neodymium permanent-magnet micromotors from Maxon are also onboard playing a crucial supporting role, and [...]
What Is a Magnetometer? Learn the basics of magnetometers, including their relation to hysteresis curves and their applications. Magnetometers are devices that can measure the magnitude or direction of a magnetic field. They are present almost everywhere in electronics. They may be as simple as the one that your smartphone uses to detect whether it [...]
Tiny magnetic sensor deemed attractive, Ultra-sensitive magnetic sensor technology magnetic fields, Sensor Magnet Tiny magnetic sensor deemed attractive - Ultra-sensitive magnetic sensor technology pioneered at PML may soon be commercialized for a host of applications from detection of unexploded bombs and underground pipes to geophysical surveying and perhaps even imaging of the brain and heart. In late October [...]
