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 ...

The LMP91300 is a complete analog front end (AFE) optimized for use in industrial inductive proximity sensors. The device directly converts the RP of the external LC tank into a digital value. Post ...

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 ...

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 ...

Balluff of Florence, Kan. has released a new generation of inductive ring sensors that are designed to help whenever the infeed of small metal parts needs to be monitored. The company says the sensors ...

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 ...

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

Impact of stray magnetic fields on the electrification of motor vehicles. The role of inductive sensors to reduce risk, cost, and size in EMI-laden applications. The clean and efficient design of ...

Melexis has brought out a dual-input inductive sensor integrated circuit (IC). The device simultaneously processes signals from two sets of coils to compute differential or vernier angles on-chip.

Application characteristics help specifiers choose the best discrete sensor type. Industrial automation systems depend on sensors to detect what is going on with machinery and products for effective ...

Pepperl+Fuchs GmbH (P+F, www.pepperl-fuchs.com), a Mannheim, Germany-based manufacturer of electronic sensors and components for intrinsically safe explosion protection, is acquiring the proximity ...
