AKM’s AK8778 Onechip Encoder is a Hall effect latch which detects both vertical magnetic field and horizontal magnetic field (perpendicular and parallel to the marking side of the package) at the same ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

As per its creator, the AEAT-6600-T16 debuts as the industry’s highest-resolution Hall-Effect magnetic encoder. The component targets industrial applications, particularly those in harsh environments.

Recently, [Solder Hub] put together a brief video that demonstrates the basics of a Hall Effect sensor — in this case, one salvaged from an old CPU fan. Two LEDs, a 100 ohm resistor, and a 3.7 volt ...

This article provides an in-depth overview of the significance and recent advancements of graphene in Hall effect sensor application. How Do Hall Effect Sensors Work? Hall effect sensors are ...

When it comes to rotary encoders, there are plenty of options. Most of them involve putting a credit card number into an online vendor’s website, though, and that’s sometimes just not in the cards. In ...

Miri is a creative writer with a passion for gaming and animation. She started gaming way back in 1994 on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis and has been a console gamer ever since. She's currently a ...

While most sensors that surround us and make modern technology possible are well-known and understood, magnetic sensors used in magnetometers are often overlooked or misunderstood, even though they’re ...
