5. Redundancy sensors can share the target sensing device, thereby reducing the overall size of a redundant system. 7. Inductive position sensors can only handle small linear measurements.

Most metal-detecting inductive sensors use plastic sensing faces. Plastic facings are inexpensive and do not interfere with the metal-sensing ability of the sensor.

However, a new inductive sensor has arrived that could change the face of proximity sensing. Proximity-Sensing Applications. In terms of common applications, one of the most prevalent is the ...

Inductive position-measuring systems (IPMSs) operate on the same principle as an inductive proximity sensor. But instead of a single sensing coil, position measuring uses a multiple-coil system.

Renesas has developed an inductive position sensor (IPS) technology that delivers a resolution of up to 19 bits and accuracy of up to 14 bits. The magnet-free, dual-coil technology can replace ...

Inductive displacement sensors are a big step up from proximity sensors, but mostly thanks to more electronics and processing. Instead of a binary output, the classic inductive displacement sensors ...
