Position Sensors play an important role in our daily lives. A position sensor, as the name indicates, provides feedback on the position of the measurand by detecting the presence/absence of an object ...

A common application seen throughout the industrial and commercial sectors is proximity sensing—detecting when some object is physically close to a sensor. A variety of processes can be implemented ...

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...

Last week Belgian fabless chip company Melexis announced a unique inductive sensing IC that includes a tiny transformer, drive circuit and sense circuit, so Electronics Weekly decided to have a closer ...

A new limit switch features a precision inductive sensor with a hysterisis of less than 1 µm, claimed as the lowest on the market. The IPS05/4608KS inductive sensor switch has a sensing distance of ...

Baumer has created an inductive position sensor that is only 6mm think but detects objects a up to 12mm. IF250 sensors have a plastic body with a 25 x 52.4mm footprint, reinforced with metal sleeves ...

Properly choosing an inductive proximity sensor can be challenging. Learn about the critical factors to consider when making your decision. Inductive proximity sensors detect the position/presence of ...

Carlo Gavazzi is pleased to announce two new product lines designed specifically for harsh environments. The new ICS Inductive Proximity Sensors comply with or are certified to IP69K, ECOLAB, and FDA ...

Machines need sensors and transmitters to operate reliably and consistently. All it takes is a small drop in air pressure or a slight jam to cause a machine to crash; these sorts of problems can often ...
