What is a magnetostrictive displacement sensor? What are the uses of a magnetostrictive material?

Magnetostriction is the process in which a ferromagnetic material can change its size or shape when it is placed in a magnetic field. This device can be used to do the position control. The magnetostrictive position sensor uses a ferromagnetic element in order to determine the location of a position magnet which is displaced along …

What is a magnetic proximity sensor? What are the types of magnetic position sensors?

A magnetic proximity sensor is a non-contact proximity sensor and it can be used to detect magnetic objects. This type of proximity sensor is also called reed contacts. This would use the magnetic field distortion for its operation, in case if a ferromagnetic material comes in the range of this sensor then the magnetic field …
