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 ...

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 ...

Carlo Gavazzi is excited to announce the launch of the new ICF Full-Metal Inductive Sensors. This new sensor family offers increased uptime due to their durable stainless steel housing and intelligent ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

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 ...

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 ...
