This intriguing sensor component features a precision magnetic pattern embedded in a durable steel strip. Known as a Multi-Pole Magnetic Strip, it contains alternating North and South pole magnetic fields spaced at 5mm intervals. When used with magnetometers, hall effect sensors, or magnetic encoders, it accurately determines movement, speed, and location without direct contact.
The strip is more durable compared to optical counterparts and can be easily mounted on flat or curved surfaces. It comes in a convenient roll 1 meter long, with a width of 10mm and a thickness of 0.3mm. The adhesive backing ensures straightforward application, though prepping the surface is advised for optimal adhesion. It’s cuttable with steel-compatible tools, ideal for custom setups.
