Position Sensors - Angle, Linear Position Measuring

The MLX90380LGO-BAB-023-SP is a specialized position sensing technology developed by Melexis, and is well-suited for a variety of applications. This article discusses the application field and working principles of this angle and linear position measuring device.

The MLX90380LGO-BAB-023-SP is a linear and angle-dependent sensor which operates on the principle of Hall-effect sensing. When a nearby magnet or other source of magnetic field interacts with the sensor, it produces a signal which can be used to detect and measure the position of the magnet relative to it.

The MLX90380LGO-BAB-023-SP is typically used in applications such as industrial automation, robotics, position sensing for servo motors, automotive positioning, and more. These position sensors measure small changes in angle and linear position in a wide range of applications, with higher accuracy than traditional sensors. The MLX90380LGO-BAB-023-SP has a linear range of up to 20 millimeters and an angular range of up to 180 degrees.

The MLX90380LGO-BAB-023-SP is designed to be easy to integrate and operate. It features an integrated communication interface and has built-in magnetic and electrical noise rejection. This keeps positions calibrated and decreases possible interference between sensors, making it ideal for mission critical applications.

At its core, the MLX90380LGO-BAB-023-SP is an array of Hall-effect transducers which measure the strength of the magnetic field relative to the device. As this field changes, it alters the output of the Hall-effect transducers, creating a signal which can be used to measure the angle or linear position relative to where the device is located.

Due to its easy integration and accuracy, the MLX90380LGO-BAB-023-SP is ideal for a wide range of applications such as industrial automation, robotics, automotive position sensing, and more. This versatile device can be used to measure angles and linear positions with an accuracy that is much higher than analog or optical sensors. By taking advantage of its integrated communication interface and built-in noise rejection, the MLX90380LGO-BAB-023-SP can be used in mission critical applications with confidence.
