A transverse Hall probe measures magnetic fields perpendicular to its sensing element. Unlike an axial probe, it is oriented so the Hall element detects the field along a plane orthogonal to the probe's shaft. This design makes it ideal for measuring surface or edge fields and for applications where the magnetic field is not aligned with the probe's axis. Transverse Hall probes are commonly used in applications like magnetic field mapping, quality control in magnetic materials, and testing in motors and electronic components.

An axial Hall probe is a sensor used to measure magnetic fields along its axis. It contains a Hall element that generates a voltage when exposed to a magnetic field, proportional to the field's strength. Typically, axial Hall probes are mounted on a narrow stem or rod, allowing precise measurements in confined spaces or along specific axes in equipment. They are essential for applications needing high-resolution field mapping, such as in motors, transformers, and MRI systems.
