Magnetoresistive proximity sensors are ubiquitous in various applications, such as level detection, stroke limit detection in hydraulic cylinders, and biomedical applications. Farnell offers a broad range of magnetoresistive proximity sensors from leading manufacturers, including SICK, FESTO, and TURCK. These sensors operate based on magnetoresistance, which is a change in the electrical resistance of a material in the presence of a magnetic field. Various types of magnetoresistive proximity sensors are available, including anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), giant magnetoresistance (GMR), and tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR), with different mounting options and supply voltages ranging from 1.8 V to 100 V.
