Sensors that detect and track small metallic objects are handy gadgets, whether used to route workpieces on an assembly line or comb a beach for “treasures” lost in the sand. A typical sensor design ...

This sensor driver/receiver IC uses PCB-based differential sensing coils and sophisticated topology to provide high accuracy and noise immunity in harsh environments. There’s a large gap between the ...

Impact of stray magnetic fields on the electrification of motor vehicles. The role of inductive sensors to reduce risk, cost, and size in EMI-laden applications. The clean and efficient design of ...

Melexis has brought out a dual-input inductive sensor integrated circuit (IC). The device simultaneously processes signals from two sets of coils to compute differential or vernier angles on-chip.

Users of inductive proximity sensors can select from a vast array of standard types to solve almost any general purpose sensing application. Unfortunately not all industrial sensing applications fall ...

Alliance Sensors Group is pleased to announce the MR Series of Linear Position Sensors for use in measuring the ram position of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. The MR Series is designed to be a ...

Sensor specialist BAUMER has expanded its range of miniature sensors helping system designers and engineers to exploit the benefits of reliable object detection using the smallest possible components.

Controlling an earthmoving machine to perform a task requires knowing exactly where its bucket or blade contacts the dirt. Therefore, in addition to knowing the machine’s position, it is necessary to ...

Renesas has invented a non-contact industrial rotary inductive position sensor that works up to 600,000rpm and has a propagation delay less than 2μs. This image is part one of the snippets of ...

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 ...

Inductive IY/IZ type sensors from ifm detect end positions of small grippers and clamps and can be used to accurately monitor speed of gears and rotary movements. The miniature sensors are used in ...
