AMR Sensors (Magnetic Sensors)Usages and Applications of Rotation Detection

The long life expectancy and low current consumption of AMR sensors make them most suitable for smart meters

Usage with smart meters can make the best of AMR sensors’ advantages of a long life expectancy and low power consumption.

[Application example]
Smart gas meters, smart water meters, speed meters, etc.

The small size and high precision of AMR sensors are advantageous features that make their long lifespan and safe design possible. They also have low current consumption which enables them to be used in powering batteries. Not only does the sensor detect the water meter to manage a fixed flow of water and read the water level gauge to control the temperature of the hot water, but it also has many other different roles.
