RVmagnetics

R&D company RVmagnetics has developed the smallest passive sensor in the world thinner than a human hair (20 micrometers) – MicroWire - a contactless sensor that measures pressure, temperature, magnetic field and indirectly also torsion, stress, position, vibration etc.

Contactless measuring is based on microwire technology and magnetic fields, with no need for power the sensor. Sensors can withstand harsh acidic and alkaline environments, provide accurate data for a period longer than a lifetime and survive temperature up to 600 degrees without losing its accuracy. Sensor can produce accurate data even when placed in noisy electro-magnetic environment. Maximum sensing distance range is up to 10cm.

Integrating MicroWire sensor inside materials or solutions does add neither additional weight, nor change mechanical properties. To create a unique and tailored solution for a client, close collaboration and customisation is required.

The MicroWire sensor helped overcome sensing obstacles in industries including Healthcare, IoT, Industry 4.0, Automotive, Aerospace, Structural Health Monitoring, Non Destructive Testing and Anti-counterfeit area.
