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.
