Results for tag: "Variable Reluctance Sensor"

The Variable Reluctance Sensor (VRS) market is a segment of the automotive sensors industry. VRS are used to measure the angular position of a rotating shaft, and are typically used in automotive applications such as engine control, transmission control, and anti-lock braking systems. VRS are typically constructed from a ferromagnetic material, such as iron, and are designed to detect changes in the magnetic field as the shaft rotates. VRS are typically used in combination with other sensors, such as Hall effect sensors, to provide a more accurate measurement of the angular position of the shaft. VRS are also used in combination with other sensors to provide a more accurate measurement of the speed of the shaft. The VRS market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a wide range of products. Some of the major players in the market include Infineon Technologies, NXP Semiconductors, STMicroelectronics, and Allegro Microsystems. Show Less Read more
