Magnetic sensors and actuators

Description:

Example of project is the development of novel position sensor or actuator based on nanocrystalline material. Starting from material treatment and testing, analytical solution based on vector potential, through the numerical FEM model, physical model and prototype, the precision and temperature stability of the new sensor/actuator will be optimized. Other possible projects include actuators for electric drives and sensors of electric currents, speed, for non-destructive testing, precise magnetometers for space research, security applications, position tracking, navigation, geophysics and archeology.

The introduction of new materials such as amorphous and nanocrystalline and amorphous alloys, new effects and principles such as GMR and SDT, new simulation and calibration methods brought magnetic sensors in the center of attention. Our lab has wide experience and international and intersectoral cooperation in all mentioned areas
