The proximity sensor is one of the oldest electronic components used in automation to detect objects. However, early designs of proximity switches required mechanical contact, which became unreliable ...

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 ...

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 ...

An infrared sensor is an electronic module that is used to detect the certain physical appearance of its surroundings by either emitting and/or detecting infrared radiation. IR sensors can also sense ...

DW Series round metal inductive proximity sensors with analog outputs are now available from AutomationDirect in 8mm, 12mm, 18mm, and 30mm cylindrical sizes. These DC-powered (10-30V or 15-30V) ...

Non-contact sensing of a nearby object’s linear or rotary position in an electrically and mechanically harsh environment is a common system requirement. There are several ways to meet this objective, ...

Q40 delivers sensing ranges up to 40mm with the ability to sense aluminium and steel at the same distance. May 3, 2011 - Balluff introduces Q40 inductive proximity block sensor with sensing ranges up ...

You can create a release to package software, along with release notes and links to binary files, for other people to use. Learn more about releases in our docs.

ifm presents new inductive proximity sensors in full metal housings in three sizes for safety applications: M12, M18 and M30 with a housing length of 60 mm. For use in mobile machinery, they are ...
