Magnetic sensors

Magnetic sensors are what?

SCMA has been officially appointed as the sole authorized distributor of ifm in Thailand.

SCMA has been officially appointed as the sole authorized distributor of ifm in Thailand. 

Magnetic sensors are devices that detect specific magnetic objects, including detecting magnetic fields or changes in magnetic fields. This detection allows for the measurement of position, speed, direction, movement, or even the strength of a magnetic field.

Applications of Magnetic Sensors in Industry

  • Detecting the position, speed, rotation, or control system (ABS) of automotive industry.
  • Controlling movement and positioning in manufacturing machinery and automatic control systems.
  • Using Magnetic sensors in the electronics industry, such as smartphones, digital compasses, and data storage devices.
  • Geophysics and exploration industries to detect Earth's magnetic field or geophysical surveys.

Frequently Asked Questions about Magnetic Sensors

Q: What are magnetic sensors?

A: Sensors that detect a magnetic field to determine the position of an object without contact.

Q: What is the operating principle of a magnetic sensor?

A: It detects the strength of the magnetic field from a permanent magnet or a magnetised object.

Q: What is the main benefit of this sensor type in industrial work?

A: It checks the travel position or the open/closed state of equipment fitted with a magnet.

Q: Can magnetic sensors detect through other materials?

A: Yes, they can sense the magnetic field through walls and certain non-metallic materials.

Q: What makes ifm magnetic sensors durable?

A: They withstand dust, humidity, vibration and harsh plant environments.

Q: What equipment are these sensors typically used with?

A: Commonly used with cylinders, valves or automation systems that need to verify part position.

Q: How varied are the sensor designs and formats?

A: Available as threaded cylindrical types and as easy-mount versions to suit the space on site.

Q: Do ifm magnetic sensors support modern network technology?

A: Versions supporting IO-Link are available for digital configuration and data exchange.

Q: What are the advantages of magnetic sensors over conventional mechanical systems?

A: They reduce physical wear, improve accuracy and extend service life.

Q: Where can genuine ifm magnetic sensors be bought in Thailand?

A: They are officially distributed by SCMA, the sole appointed distributor in Thailand.
