Supporting a wide range of control and detection
needs through creation of new sensing ability.

Alps provides many sensing solutions through a wide selection of products. The magnetic sensor is one such solution available from Alps. Pressure sensor is available as a capacitive or piezo type. Our state-of-the-art. R&D, material development, design/evaluation, MEMS, nanomaterials technology, etc. comprise the DNA that makes the Alps' magnetic sensor. So it should come as no surprise then that it has superior sensitivity, precision and reliability.
This product is living proof of Alps commitment to creating complete sensing solutions.

Non-contact sensor using highly reliable magnetic elements
Highly reliable magnetic sensor

The highly reliable magnetic sensor advances the technologies and product development skills built over years of work in the magnetic head development field. Flexibility in set design can be improved because it can detect a wider magnetic field with highly reliable (compared to conventional types of magnetic sensors). At the same time it also allows you to save space due to its minute size. It also boasts low current consumption and excellent characteristics for operating in a wide temperature range. It is available in two types - switching output type (designed for open/close detection of doors, lids, etc.) and analog linear output type (designed for rotating angle detection in various mechanisms).



Magnetic material thin film process technology/evaluation technology
Highly reliable and improved flexibility in set design realized through integration of various advanced technologies.

Know-how acquired over years in developing magnetic heads for HDDs - materials development, design, MEMSc - has given birth to a super sensitive magnetic sensor. Alps pulled out all the stops in this project by investing heavily in the core business areas: magnetic thin film process technology that replicates electron beam lithography, sputtering, plating, and etching on insulation coated wafers and evaluation technology for producing higher quality realized by feeding back data to the coating project upon completion of coating (after doing accurate X-ray analysis of each film's.
Super sensitive in measuring a wide range of magnetic fields

Compared to the conventional magnetic sensor, our highly reliable magnetic sensor can sense a much wider magnetic field at a highly precise level too. And when mounted to set products it also contributes to load reduction for set design by assisting magnetic analysis and simulation.
