Abstract: This work presents the development of a measurement system based on magnetoresistive sensors. The experimental system is used to measure small moves in the space, being suitable for applications where the absence of contact is required. The developed apparatus is described, modelled, and an experimental run is presented to illustrate its behaviour.
