The material and size (also the thickness) of the target is an important factor for inductive proximity sensors. Generally there are two types of target materials for inductive sensors; ferrous and ...

but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone had a pretty good idea, to ...

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 ...

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 ...

However, a new inductive sensor has arrived that could change the face of proximity sensing. In terms of common applications, one of the most prevalent is the pushbutton. When the button is ...

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...
