Product Line

Stefan Mayer Fluxgate Sensor Series

Stefan Mayer Instruments designs and manufactures a range of miniature fluxgate sensors combining very low noise, wide temperature tolerance, and low power consumption — ideal for portable instruments, embedded systems, and precision laboratory setups.

FLC3-70 — Miniature Triaxial Fluxgate Sensor

FLC3-70

Overview

The FLC3-70 is an exceptionally compact triaxial fluxgate sensor, measuring all three components of the magnetic field vector simultaneously in a package under 1 inch wide and 2 inches long. Its single DC power supply requirement, very low current draw, and wide operating temperature range make it well-suited for battery-powered portable instruments, UAV platforms, and embedded measurement systems.

A Raspberry Pi-based data acquisition system for the FLC3-70 is currently under development, incorporating a high-resolution A/D converter with software for real-time recording and display of magnetic field data. Contact us for the latest availability information.

🛠️ In Development: A Raspberry Pi-based DAQ system for the FLC3-70 is coming soon. Contact us for updates.

Key Specifications

  • Triaxial (3-axis) simultaneous measurement
  • Dimensions: <1″ wide × 2″ long
  • Analog output
  • Current consumption: <6 mA
  • Single DC power supply
  • Measurement range: >100 µT
  • Bandwidth: 1 kHz
  • Noise: <1 nTrms
  • Wide operating temperature range

FLC100 — Miniature Single-Axis Fluxgate Sensor

FLC100

Overview

The FLC100 is the single-axis counterpart to the FLC3-70, sharing the same ultra-compact form factor and low-power design philosophy. It is ideal for applications where measurement along a single field component is sufficient, such as proximity sensing, compass applications, or single-axis field monitoring in space-constrained installations. Its analog output interfaces easily with standard data acquisition hardware.

Key Specifications

  • Single-axis measurement
  • Dimensions: <1″ wide × 2″ long
  • Analog output
  • Current consumption: <6 mA
  • Single DC power supply
  • Measurement range: >100 µT
  • Bandwidth: 1 kHz
  • Noise: <1 nTrms
  • Wide operating temperature range

FL1 Series — High-Sensitivity Fluxgate Sensors

FL1-100

Overview

The FL1 series represents a step up in sensitivity within the Stefan Mayer fluxgate range, offering noise performance an order of magnitude better than the FLC series. Available in three sensor configurations — single-axis, dual-axis, and triaxial — and with multiple field range options, the FL1 family provides flexibility for demanding laboratory and observatory-grade measurements where the highest sensitivity is required.

Key Specifications

  • Available configurations: single-axis, dual-axis, triaxial
  • Multiple field range options
  • Bandwidth: 1 kHz
  • Noise: <20 pTrms/√Hz
  • High-sensitivity research-grade performance
