Magnetic load detection in washing machines
The sensor is attached to the outside of the damper when using magnetic inductive sensors for the load detection for tubs of washing machines. An integrated magnet provides the necessary displacement information about the lowering of the tub. In addition to the high resolution, the method also provides very high dynamics which is why the imbalance during the spinning process can also be measured. The low-cost MDS sensor in this version provides a PWM signal at the output. The sensor can be attached to the damper or to the drum itself. The sensor can easily be adapted to customer requirements for OEM.
Details
Method registered as patent
High basic sensitivity
Very high resolution
Low cost sensor for OEM users
Measuring range up to 60 mm
Small magnets as target

Load detection in washing machines
The ILU displacement sensor (Integrated Load and Unbalance Sensor) measures the depression of the suds container when the washing machine is loaded and its deviation during the spinning stage. Due to the inductive measurement principle, the sensor provides absolute position acquisition for static and dynamic processes. The current load status is continuously displayed and thus enables optimum and maximum loading of the washer drum. The necessary load-dependent detergent quantity is calculated and displayed in parallel.
