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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new limit switch features a precision inductive sensor with a hysterisis of less than 1 µm, claimed as the lowest on the market. The IPS05/4608KS inductive sensor switch has a sensing distance of ...
