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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The new IRC40 Inductive Proximity Sensors were designed as a durable solution for daily indoor and outdoor applications. They ensure accurate detection of actuating parts, such as skid conveyor ...

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 ...

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 ...

Infineon has augmented touch sensing and liquid level sensing it a new series of MCUs. Devices in the 4000T family have hardware and software to implement: enhanced capacitive touch sensing, inductive ...
