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 ...

AutomationDirect has added the new AchieVe series of inductive proximity sensors. These tubular sensors made from stainless steel are offered in 8 mm, 12 mm, and 18 mm barrel sizes. Flush and ...

Non-contact proximity sensors can improve the ruggedness of manufacturing operations, such as metal component assembly, by replacing delicate mechanical switches. Sensor selection for these ...

Sensor manufacturers use three common methods to combat this problem: time-based filtering, lowpermeability core and coil systems, and air-coil systems. Time-based filtering installs a time-delay ...

With increased automation of complex production systems, components that are capable of acquiring and transmitting information regarding the production process become necessary. Proximity sensors -- ...
