The LMP91300 is a readily-available complete analog front end (AFE) optimized for use in industrial inductive proximity sensors. The LMP91300 detects the presence of a metal object based on the RP ...

Sensors with a stainless-steel face use such low-frequency alternating fields that their detection area extends well through the metal face of the sensor to detect metallic objects on the other side.

For detection of non-metal targets in such environments, capacitive sensors can be used. However, where ultimate precision and accuracy is required, that’s where eddy current sensors come in. These ...

Load dump sensors work like all inductive sensors detecting the presence of a metallic object within an electromagnetic field. An electronic oscillator excites a coil of wire wound on a ferrite core.
