The three sensors are available in configurations for compact, harsh environmental and general purpose applications, and feature a rugged stainless steel body, shock resistant front caps, impact ...

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

Proximity sensors -- the most basic data acquisition devices in automation -- fulfill these requirements by providing information in the form of individual process variables to controllers.

Here’s a comparison of the performance and limitations of inductive, capacitive, photelectric and ultrasonic proximity sensors.

With recent advances in electronics, inductive proximity sensors have evolved into precision measurement devices that can calculate the displacement or distance of a work piece or metal target ...

These differ from proximity and inductive displacement sensors in that they use an air-core coil instead of a ferromagnetic core. This eliminates the magnetic losses and thermal nonlinearities ...

An inductive proximity-sensor system detects absolute rotary or linear motion. An inductive position sensorprovides an ac signal that determines the presence of metal objects, while providing ...

To trigger the sensor, the conductive target can sweep past the face of the IC, or approach it from the nominal front. Various patterns of holes through target sweeping in various directions, can be ...
