In any application using motors for automation, there is a need to ensure accurate control of the motor. To make this possible, the position and speed of the rotor in the motor, which is usually ...

In quick review, an inductive sensor generates an electromagnetic wave at a specific tuned frequency. The tuned circuit inside the sensor has a high impedance at that frequency, creating a high ...

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 ...

Carlo Gavazzi is excited to announce the launch of the new ICF Full-Metal Inductive Sensors. This new sensor family offers increased uptime due to their durable stainless steel housing and intelligent ...

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...

Where non-magnetic inductive sensing is an attractive approach. The challenges of configuring these sensors. How a new trio of sensor-interface ICs and coil-optimizer tool simplify the challenge. It ...

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 ...

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.

Sensata Technologies Holding has been granted a patent for an inductive position sensor that improves performance and differentiation through innovative sense element and target design. The sensor ...

The latest firmware Tesla rolled out for Model X was supposed to fix its buggy doors, but it seemed to have brought new problems of its own. See, the car's sweet Falcon doors had been giving owners ...
