An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

Offered as a solution to increasing the size and inductive power of an inductive prox, the Prox Actuator increases prox target detection range up to 3.8" and uses an inexpensive, small-diameter sensor ...

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 ...

TURCK announces their analog+ proximity sensors have been enhanced to differentiate between varying types of metal during detection—independent of their distance from the sensor. Nov. 25, 2009 ...

Sensata Technologies Holding has been granted a patent for an inductive position sensor that improves performance and differentiation through innovative sense element and target design. The sensor ...

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 ...

Inductive eddy current position/displacement sensors require an electrically conductive target. The target does not have to be grounded, and in general, the more electrically conductive it is, the ...
