Sensors

What are sensors?


Sensors are devices that can produce an output signal dependent on the value of a specific physical variable. The output signal is an electrical quantity that can be easily read by a measurement system. A physical variable can be measured using sensors that exploit different physical phenomena. The physical phenomenon to be used is chosen according to the application.

Your partner for position sensing applications

Thanks to the know-how developed over two decades of academic research, we have devised new types of sensors that exploit electromagnetic fields. Unlike sensors already on the market, we differ in several ways.

  • Advanced design realized in house

    Through agile design, enabled by our patented and totally in-house electromagnetic simulation software, we can make tailor-made products.

  • Personalized dimensions

    Through agile design, enabled by our patented and totally in-house electromagnetic simulation software, we can make tailor-made products.

  • Accuracy through computer optimization

    Under alignment conditions thanks to computer-made automatic optimization techniques we can guarantee a 0.1%FS linearity error. Should it be necessary to achieve higher accuracy two sensors can be used side by side, one absolute and one incremental. In this case we achieve accuracy down to 0.01° for rotary sensors.

  • Flexible sensor positioning

    Sensor placement is flexible (end-of-shaft i.e., the sensor is placed at the head of the shaft, through-shaft i.e., with the shaft passing through the sensor, side-shaft i.e., the sensor is placed lateral to the shaft, etc.).

  • No magnets

    They do not use permanent magnets, saving on cost and avoiding supply problems.

  • For harsh environments

    Sensors that can be used in hostile environments, that is, with the presence of dust and liquids (water, oil, etc.), strong external electromagnetic fields (both static magnetic fields and electromagnetic fields), and can be used over a wide temperature range.

  • Without contact

    All our sensors are non-contact to eliminate wear and tear due to mechanical contact.
