Hi,
What will be the distance or air gap criteria for the TMAG5111 sensor and dimetric magnet?
Can you provide me some notes or hint regarding that?
Thanks

Hello,
For a diametrically magnetized magnet, you will need to perform a simulation for your given magnet. You can do this using a FEMM simulation where you can view the strength of the magnetic field between the magnet and the device.
Additionally, I will mention that if you have an axially magnetized magnet, then our Magnetic Sensing Proximity Tool (Rev. B) can be used to assist in these calculations.

Hi Justin Beigel
Thanks for your reply.
I am using this Magnet. It will attach with a reel and I used two of them 180 degrees apart. When the reel will move, it will pass over the sensor placed under the reel.
The magnet will not move around its axis. If you can add further points regarding my query. It will be highly appreciated. Thanks
The software that you recommended. I am totally unaware of its usage. It will take a lot of time for me to understand it first and then do a simulation. Is it possible, if you can perform it and provide me results?
Thanks
Hello,
To clarify, is the motion of the magnet linear?
Thank you,
Justin Beigel
The magnets are attached with a circular drum which rotate in circular motion. Actually, i am trying to measure the string distance through sensor.
Ali,
The FEMM tool is useful for axially magnetized magnets due to their radial symmetry. For this type of magnet, the excel tool Justin referred to integrates this software to run a simulation based on your inputs. The magnet you are referring to here is diametric, and unfortunately the calculator tool cannot support this yet.
One free tool you might consider using to estimate the field for your magnet at any given point is here:

You'll want to ensure that the sensor range to your magnet ensures a proper BOP and BRP crossing as the wheel rotates.
Thanks,
