Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

Condition monitoring specialists SENSONICS offer an extensive range of PROXIMITY SENSORS which includes their fully integrated PRI SERIES which build upon the success of their established Senturion ...

Traditional analog sensing is applied in two non-traditional housing styles in the Bi20R-Q14-LU ring style and the Wi70-M18-LIU5 probe style sensors. The Bi20R-Q14-LU is a 3-wire, 15-30VDC sensor with ...

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 ...

I’m working on a project involving the need to precisely move a tool based on the measured distance to an object. Okay, yeah, it’s a CNC mill. Anyway, I’d heard of time of fight sensors and decided to ...

Most design engineers of consumer and industrial products always look for various ways to achieve their desired goals in applications ranging from wearables to handheld devices to industrial ...

Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

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 with ...
