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 ...

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 ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

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 ...

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 ...

With increased automation of complex production systems, components that are capable of acquiring and transmitting information regarding the production process become necessary. Proximity sensors -- ...

Most design engineers of consumer and industrial products always look for various ways to achieve their desired goals in applications ranging from wearables to handheld devices to industrial ...

Application characteristics help specifiers choose the best discrete sensor type. Industrial automation systems depend on sensors to detect what is going on with machinery and products for effective ...

From roller coasters and farm equipment to discrete and batch manufacturing, inductive sensors enable precise metal detection and automation across every industry. Learn more about their diverse ...
