Magnetic sensors are sensors that generate signals by detecting magnetic changes in the environment. This article is about general information about magnetic sensors, types of magnetic sensors, usage areas and working principles.

What Is A Magnetic Sensor?

The magnetic sensor is the general name given to sensors that generate signals by detecting magnetic changes in the environment. Magnetic sensors are also called “Field-Effect Sensors”. Magnetic sensors consist of two kinds of materials, inductive and semiconductor materials. Detection distances are greater than inductive and capacitive sensors.

What Are The Uses Of Magnetic Sensors?

Magnetic sensors in industrial automation systems, medical electronics, automation, and control systems; It is used in cases where the object to be detected is in the far sensing distance, there are other objects between the object and the sensor and it is difficult for the sensor to see the object. They are widely used in the industry to know the positions of the pistons used in safety doors, and automation systems, especially in machines.
