AS5270B-HMFT Applications and Working Principle

The AS5270B-HMFT is an advanced Hall-effect position-sensing device specifically developed for precise, high-performance, non-contact angular-position sensing. This advanced position-sensing solution is ideal for use within a number of application fields, including automotive, aerospace, industrial, and medical. It offers an accurate and reliable way to measure angles, rotations, and linear positions with linearity and repeatability.

Position Sensor Types

Position sensors are devices that measure or detect the displacement, movement, or position of an object or physical body inside a mechanical system. These sensors are available in various designs and are designed for measuring displacement, location, and acceleration of moving objects. They can also be used to measure the force, torque, and pressure generated in a system.

Position sensors are available in several types, including linear position sensors, angular position sensors, tactile position sensors, and rotary position sensors.

Angle and Linear Position Measuring

An angular position sensor measures the angular displacement or rotation of a shaft or other moving object from its initial position. These sensors are typically used in applications where precise, accurate readings of angles and rotations are necessary, such as automotive steering systems, wind turbines, and medical equipment.

Linear position sensors measure the linear displacement of an object relative to its initial position. They are used in applications where the exact position of the object has to be determined and recorded, such as manufacturing process automation, robotic control, and remote sensing.

AS5270B-HMFT Position Sensor

The AS5270B-HMFT is an advanced position-sensing solution developed by Infineon Technologies. This sensor utilizes a combination of Hall-effect and magneto-resistive sensing principles and is designed for use in automotive, aerospace, industrial, and medical applications. It is highly accurate, reliable, and easy to use, making it perfect for measuring angles, rotations, and linear positions with precision and repeatability.

The AS5270B-HMFT features a rotational element, consisting of two Hall-effect elements arranged at a 90° angle to each other. The two Hall-effect elements measure the relative strength of the magnetic field produced by a magnet attached to the rotating shaft. The two elements are then combined to calculate the angular displacement or position of the shaft in real time.

In addition to the rotational element, the AS5270B-HMFT also includes a linear element. This element utilizes a magneto-resistive principle to monitor the linear displacement of the moving object. The linear element consists of two magneto-resistive elements arranged at a 90° angle to each other, and is capable of measuring the linear position of an object with an accuracy of 0.1%, which is much more precise than traditional sensors.

Conclusion

The AS5270B-HMFT is an advanced position-sensing device specifically designed for use in automotive, aerospace, industrial, and medical applications. It utilizes a combination of Hall-effect and magneto-resistive sensing principles to measure angles, rotations, and linear positions with accuracy and repeatability. With its reliable and easy-to-use design, this sensor is perfect for applications where precise, high-performance position sensing is necessary.
