STR1-SAMM10P5

Magnetic Sensors - Position, Proximity, Speed (Modules)

STR1-SAMM10P5 is one of magnetic sensors developed by SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. It is a module that provides a wide range of detection and position sensing capabilities. The module can detect the strength and direction of a magnetic field, as well as changes in the field. The sensor has a variety of output modes, such as analog or digital, making it versatile and suitable for a range of applications.

Application Field

The STR1-SAMM10P5 magnetic sensor is suitable for a number of applications. It can be used to detect magnetic fields, such as those from motors, electric coils, and magnets. It can also be used to detect position changes, such as rotation, tilt, and displacement. The sensor is suitable for use in robotics and mechatronics projects, as well as various control systems.

The STR1-SAMM10P5 can also be used for security systems, where it can be used to detect the presence of a magnetic field, or to detect changes in the magnetic field. For example, it can be used to detect whether a door has been opened or closed. It can be used in medical applications, where it can be used to detect vital signs such as temperature and heart rate. Finally, it can also be used for industrial applications, such as in the manufacturing and automotive industries.

Working Principle

STR1-SAMM10P5 is a dual-axis Hall effect sensor, meaning that it can detect changes in the intensity and direction of a magnetic field. The sensor has two Hall effect elements: one detects changes in the intensity of the magnetic field, while the other detects changes in the direction of the field. These two elements are arranged such that changes in the intensity are compensated for by the direction element. This ensures that the output of the sensor is accurate and consistent.

When a magnetic field is present, it creates a flux through the Hall elements. This flux induces a voltage on the Hall elements. The magnitude of the induced voltage depends on the strength of the magnetic field, and it also depends on the direction of the field. The voltage signal is then amplified and converted into a digital signal, which can be read by a microcontroller or other circuitry. The digital signal can then be used to determine the position or tilt of the sensor.

The STR1-SAMM10P5 can be used to detect changes in the intensity and direction of a magnetic field. This means that it can be used to detect changes in position, such as rotation, tilt, and displacement. It can also be used to detect the presence of a magnetic field, such as from motors, electric coils, and magnets. Finally, it can be used in a variety of applications, such as robotics, mechatronics, control systems, security systems, medical applications, and industrial applications.
