Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...

Some of the other benefits offered by Hall-effect Sensors include low power consumption, simplicity in design and operation, reliability, compact size, distance sensing, true solid state, versatility, ...

Current sensing is on a trajectory to intersect with the global high-voltage trend of robust, high-performing systems. Discover the tradeoffs between isolated shunt-based, closed-loop Hall-effect, and ...

The DRV421 magnetic-sensing IC from Texas Instruments integrates a fluxgate sensor and compensation coil driver, along with all the required signal-conditioning circuitry, in a 4×4-mm WQFN PowerPad ...

Recently, I’ve been working on a solar off-grid monitoring system. In the system are a few split-core Hall effect sensors to monitor DC current in the solar panel current, the battery charge current, ...

In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...
