Inductive sensors are used heavily in machine applications to sense the proximity of a metal object. The concept of an inductive sensor is easy: Excite the inductor with an AC signal, which creates a ...

The sensor accomplishes this by generating a signal in one inductive coil and sensing the reactive signal in the two other coils along, with the introduction of a magnetic plate.

The benefits of a dual inductive rotary sensor. How inductive position sensors are designed to improve motor precision, motor control, and motor performance in industrial applications and ...

The TURCK Q42—available in a top-facing model and front-facing model—is an addition to the uprox+ family of factor one sensors that require no correction factor to detect any metal type. The new ...

Optical or magnetic sensor technologies tend to have difficulties combining high accuracy and contamination resistance. However, inductive sensing technology can provide reliable and robust ...

Inductive proximity detectors used near welding applications require special coil and core combinations to prevent false triggering. Air-core coils wound on plastic spools reduce the coil's ...

But fitting the right sensor to the application requires that design engineers have a working knowledge of the operating characteristics behind today's position sensors.

onsemi (Nasdaq: ON), a leader in intelligent power and sensing technologies, today announced that the company has shipped its one billionth Inductive ...

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...
