Magnetic Sensors

Hall Effect Devices

Hall effect device is one of oldest known sensors, although it has only been available in practical form since the 1950's.The Hall effect is named after its discoverer, physicist E.W.Hall.

Hall potential is E=RHi/t

where E is Hall potential in volts(V).

R is Hall constant for material

H is magnetic field

i is control current

t is device thickness

The value of E can be different for different materials.

Flux Gate Sensors

They are basically over driven magnetic core transformers in which transducible event is saturation of magnetic material.

Toroidal Core

This core removes problem of picking off small signals in presence of large offset components. We  can install pair of orthogonal pick up cores

Hall Effect

The transverse voltage (Hall effect) measured in a Hall probe has its origin in the magnetic force on a moving charge carrier

How It Works: Hall Effect Motor

For many years the Hall effect was not used in practical applications because the generated voltage in the gold film was extremely low
