TDK Corp. has introduced the Micronas HAL 302x family of 2D Hall-effect position sensors for stray-field motor position sensing, delivering high angular accuracy performance in challenging mechanical ...

Honeywell introduced its SNG-Q series quadrature speed and direction sensors for use in motors in heavy-duty equipment such as lift trucks, construction equipment and agricultural machinery. The ...

Bipolar Hall-effect sensors are used in BLDC motors to detect the position of the rotating magnet. In this example, an eight-pole motor with a three-phase winding uses three bipolar latching ...

Hall-effect switches and instrumentation-grade sensors have become more commonplace in industrial applications, with a wide range of Hall-effect devices now packaged for designers of products and ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Sensing current, especially in higher-voltage settings, is often a challenge. It’s generally more difficult than voltage sensing, as it is usually “invasive” and requires “breaking” into the ...

Two similar families of precision, analog-output current sensors use the Hall effect to measure tens of amps with low drift and high linearity while providing 3-kVrms galvanic isolation. Current ...
