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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Many industrial/instrumentation applications today involve sensory measurement techniques. The function of the sensor is to monitor changes in the system, and then feed this data back to a main ...

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 ...
