Inductive proximity sensors are widely used in automation systems for noncontact detection of metal objects. Typically, they are composed of a coil, circuit board, and plug encased in a metal cylinder ...

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 ...

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 ...

In quick review, an inductive sensor generates an electromagnetic wave at a specific tuned frequency. The tuned circuit inside the sensor has a high impedance at that frequency, creating a high ...

In any application using motors for automation, there is a need to ensure accurate control of the motor. To make this possible, the position and speed of the rotor in the motor, which is usually ...

Resistance welding is known to create electromagnetic interference at levels high enough to falsely trigger inductive proximity sensors. Sensor manufacturers use three common methods to combat this ...

Download this article in PDF format. We’ve been waiting for a long time and now it’s being implemented widely—namely, artificial intelligence (AI). From automatic factories, self-driving cars and ...

Melexis introduces the MLX90514, a dual-input inductive sensor IC that simultaneously processes signals from two sets of coils to compute differential or vernier angles on-chip. The inductive sensor ...

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 ...

One of the backbones to the success of any automated process is the accuracy to which one can detect and measure the various elements involved. Whether the process requires precise measurement and ...

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 ...
