The Use of Hall Effect Sensors in Magnetic Levitation Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a new method of non-contact measurement and control of the magnetic field strength. The article discusses at first magnetic levitation phenomena and commercial Mag-Lev suspensions systems. Then it explains the Hall effect physics and example use of Hall effect sensor in educational magnetic levitation device. Next it lists some example constructions of Hall effect sensors. Finally it reveals potential new use of Hall-sensor in control system of unmanned aircraft catapult using Meissner effect.
