Magnetic Field sensor

The Magnetic Field sensor ML51m measures magnetic field strength in the range of -1000 to 3000 Gauss (-100 .. 300 mT). The sensor uses a Hall-element as its sensing element. This element is mounted at the tip of the stainless steel tube.
The face of Hall element is directed perpendicular to the direction of the stainless steel tube and the sensor is most sensitive when the tube is positioned parallel to magnetic field lines. The sensor is therefore very suitable for measuring magnetic field inside coils or near permanent magnets.

This Magnetic Field sensor can be used for:
• Measurements of th emagnetic field near a (strong) permanent magnet.
• Measurements of the magnetic field near a current-carrying wire.
• Measurements of the magnetic field near or inside a coil or solenoid.
• The variation of the field in Helmholtz coils.

The Magnetic Field sensor ML51m is a digital sensor (on-sensor digital conversion), which gives calibrated values of the measured quantity. This sensor can only be connected to the CMA MoLab interface and not to other CMA interfaces such as VinciLab, CoachLab II+ or EuroLab.

Technical specifications of the sensor are described in its User's guide.
