Inductive sensors work in a very simple way. They are meant to detect the presence of a specific object(s) in their surroundings. They can also count all objects or only those with selected ...

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 ...

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 ...

In quick review, an inductive sensor generates an electromagnetic wave at a specific tuned frequency. The tuned circuit inside the sensor has a high impedance at that frequency, creating a high ...

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 ...

Where non-magnetic inductive sensing is an attractive approach. The challenges of configuring these sensors. How a new trio of sensor-interface ICs and coil-optimizer tool simplify the challenge. It ...

Human-machine interfaces (HMI) are undergoing a seismic change now that a new approach is available for designing button panels. Inductive-sensing technology is becoming the preferred method when ...

The latest firmware Tesla rolled out for Model X was supposed to fix its buggy doors, but it seemed to have brought new problems of its own. See, the car's sweet Falcon doors had been giving owners ...

Renesas Electronics Corp. has introduced a new family of magnet-free inductive position sensor (IPS) ICs that can be fully customized for various coil designs compatible with a wide range of ...
