austriamicrosystems has announced the AS5165, a contactless magnetic angle position sensor for accurate angular measurement over a full 360°. The new high-resolution magnetic rotary sensor offers best-in-class protection features for reliable operation in harsh automotive environments and includes a SENT J2716 interface for simple transmission of high-resolution sensor information.

Delphi Automotive has equipped several test vehicles with its Wireless Charging System, a highly efficient wireless energy transfer system featuring technology developed by WiTricity Corporation.

The iC-MH8 is a highly variable system on chip magnetic encoder device providing fast step response for motor control applications. Combined with a diametrically magnetized permanent magnet, this compact device (QFN28 5x5 package) can be used to create a vigorous, universal encoder with motor commutation and positioning interfaces. The highly integrated iC-MH8 includes a Hall sensor array with signal amplification control, incremental (ABZ) outpu...

Following intensive research and engineering development, Ricardo has today announced a breakthrough in its revolutionary Kinergy hermetically sealed high-speed flywheel energy storage device. A significant improvement in the magnetic coupling and gearing system has now taken its efficiency to better than that of a conventional geared drive, consolidating Kinergy’s position as perhaps the most promising high speed flywheel concept currently ava...

The new NEMA 17 (□42mn), NEMA 23 (□57mn) and NEMA 34 (□86mn) hybrid stepper motors from Sonceboz integrate a highly precise, encapsulated magnetic rotary encoder which enables permanent angle sensing.

Oxford YASA Motors is finding that a TorqSense non-contact speed and torque sensor from Sensor Technology is an invaluable aid in the refinement of its world-leading motor designs. Used in a test rig to evaluate prototype motors, the sensor provides accurate and dependable real time information in a readily accessible format.

Around 100 years after their invention, electric vehicles are experiencing a renaissance. If you believe the message of the IAA in Frankfurt, most cars will soon rely on electricity and it is considered a challenge to ensure the safe and efficient charging cycle of electric vehicles.

Next-generation electric motors for low carbon emission vehicles are the target of a new collaborative research programme to be led by Cobham Technical Services. The project, ‘Rapid Design and Development of a Switched Reluctance Traction Motor’, will also involve partners Jaguar Land-Rover and engineering consultancy Ricardo UK, and is co-funded by the Technology Strategy Board.

Nick Dowding, Applications Engineering Manager at The Barden Corporation (UK) Ltd, explains why magnetic bearings are proving a popular alternative to traditional mechanical systems and the challenges in protecting those systems.

Measuring just 16mm in diameter, 14mm in length and developing 0.55N of force, Geeplus International have launched what they claim to be the world’s smallest standard Voice Coil Motor.
