GMR Sensor

Source: Hitachi Metals America, Ltd.
Hitachi Metals has developed a giant magnetoresistive (GMR) magnetic sensor for use is magnetic rotary encoders and linear encoders, responding to the trend toward thin pitched. The company also has a line up of surface-mounted GMR sensors appropriate for the move toward miniaturization.
Hitachi Metals is developing sensors using GMR devices made of new materials. The GMR sensor has three times the output of Hitachi Metals' AMR sensors. The GMR sensor operates within a range of -40C~120C degree centigrade.
