Analog Sensor Evaluation Kit |
|
|
One of NVE’s most popular evaluation kits is the Analog Sensor Evaluation Kit.
The kit includes our most sensitive production sensor (the AAH002) and several other analog sensors, plus circuit boards for easy connections and an assortment of magnets:

Magnetic Field Versus Magnet Distance
A common question on our sensor applications desk is magnetic field strength versus distance from a permanent magnet.
We know that as a magnet moves farther from a sensor, the output decreases. More precisely, close to the magnet face, the magnet is like a monopole, so the field drops off with the square of the distance. Farther from the face, the field decreases with the cube of the distance.
It’s difficult to predict the exact relationship theoretically. NVE offers a flux density calculation spreadsheet for calculating the magnetic field intensity from disk or bar magnets at various distances.
Many customers select sensors, magnets, and spacing experimentally. The AG001-01 Analog Sensor Evaluation Kit (see story above) is popular for those experiments.
With a high-sensitivity sensor, the field from a 0.312" diameter ceramic magnet can be reliably detected to about 1.5" away, but most practical applications use spacings of a fraction of an inch. High sensitivity sensors provide more signal.
