MG Series Magnets

The Honeywell MG Series magnets are a range of bar magnets designed for actuating Hall-effect and magnetoresistive sensor ICs. Available in various sizes, strengths, and magnetic materials, these magnets are suitable for applications requiring precise magnetic field control. They offer advantages such as compact size, wide magnetic field ranges, variety of shapes, and good physical strength. Some models feature threaded bushings for easy installation and resistance to demagnetization. These magnets are ideal for evaluating and designing magnetic systems across diverse industries.

Technical Specifications

Application Scenarios

Industrial

• Door or lid closure detection in appliances or electronically controlled containers.
• Simple speed and RPM (revolutions per minute) sensing in fitness and industrial equipment.

Medical

• Position sensor in hospital beds and medical equipment.
• Medication bin monitor on portable drug carts.

Magnet Actuation Methods

• Head-on Actuation: Magnet moves directly towards the sensor, requiring sufficient travel for flux overdrive.
• Slide-by Actuation: Magnet passes the sensing surface at a distance, requiring flux overdrive above the maximum operate point.
