Other activities General description of the company

SENTRON AG is a small engineering company specialized in the field of magnetic field SENsors and interface elecTRONics.  The company is a manufacturer of Hall elements,  Hall ASICs, magnetic field measurement instruments and customer specific modules.

SENTRON Hall ASICs are a combination of Hall elements and appropriate interface electronics integrated on a chip together with a magnetic flux concentrator.  In this way they are sensitive to magnetic field components parallel to the chip surface and not as conventional Hall magnetic sensors perpendicular to the device surface.  This allows to manufacture unique Hall sensors with unmatched performances for applications requiring very high sensitivity (position/current/compass) or as angular sensors (contactless potentiometer/brushless motor sensor).

SENTRON welcomes research and development contracts.  Since its foundation in 1993, the compay has carried out several R&D projects, providing customers with application-specific modules for their needs.  Such modules usually consist of magnetic sensor assemblies, ferromagnetic components and an electronic interface with customer-specific signal treatment.
