Giant Magneto Resistance (GMR) Applications

Applications for GMR sensors:

Position of Pneumatic Cylinders Position in Robotics Applications Speed and Position of Bearings Speed and Position of Electric Motor Shafts General Field Detection in Implantable Medical Devices Wheel Speed Sensing for ABS Brake Applications Transmission Gear Speed Sensing for Shift Control Low Field Detection in Currency Applications Current Sensing in PCB Traces and Wires Overcurrent and Short Circuit Detection Vehicle Detection for Traffic Counting Applications Magnetic Encoder Detection for Secure Safe Applications Position Sensing for Shock Absorber Feedback Control Earth’s Field Detection for Revolution Counting

Isolator Products:

Isolator products use GMR technology to provide significant advantages in speed, size and reliability.

Disk Drives:

Magnetoresistive read heads are already being applied to disk and tape drives. Over the next few years, GMR materials are likely to enhance the reliability of such drives by delivering higher signal levels than the AMR materials in first-generation magnetoresistive drives.

Geophysical and Medical Applications:

High sensitivity low field GMR materials will be used in high accuracy compasses and geophysical applications such as magnetic field anomaly detection in the earth's crust. In addition, these materials have application in big-medical areas where fields generated by neurological or muscular activity must be detected.
