Non-Contact Positional Sensing
Sensor applications using magnets is not new, although the application scope continues to evolve with developments and advances in magnetic materials and magnetising technology. In this specific sensing project, the magnets are used for non-contact position sensing, which is, perhaps, one of the unique ways in which magnets are meeting the changing demands of the…
Read MoreMagnetic Sensors Optimise Oil Well Drilling
The oil and gas industry continually develops new reserves to meet global energy demands. Irrespective of the focus on growing energy production from renewable sources, fossil fuels continue to play an important role in providing energy for power stations and transport. There are many drilling challenges when accessing new reserves. New wells are drilled deeper;…
Read MoreMagnetising Fixture Winding for Magnet Ring Sensor Project
Bunting’s engineering team work with companies on many magnet product designs, from concept through to manufacture. This project focused on the feasibility of designing, manufacturing, and supplying a permanent magnet ring to produce a sinusoidally varying flux density waveform for a sensor application. A sine wave or sinusoid is a mathematical curve that describes a…

Sensors are used everywhere from vehicle engine management systems to Smartphones determining if the flip cover accessory is closed. Modern everyday life would be very different without sensors and the operation of many of these sensors rely on magnetism. As products evolve, so have the range and specification of sensor magnets. A magnetic sensor converts…
