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 ...

A typical sensor design consists of an inductor integrated into an oscillator, so that entry of metal into the magnetic field of the inductor changes the frequency of oscillation. Figure 1 shows a ...

For starters, the entire project has been reworked from the ground up. For anyone unfamiliar with the original project , the circuit detected a vehicle via an inductive loop and was able to ...

The Inductive Position Sensor: A Game-Changer in EMI-Rich Environments An increasingly popular solution to reduce risk, cost, and size in EMI-laden applications is the inductive position sensor .

Digital sensor systems do away with these problems, and they allow transportation authorities to log countless hours of traffic data that can be used for future planning of routes and city projects.

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.

Microchip also makes sensors for human interfaces, such as accelerator pedals in cars, which no longer have cables that run up to the motor. “Any sort of movement, such as the angles of rotation of a ...

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.

Google released a major update for its Project Ara platform today, with additional information on the modular platform's upcoming capabilities, flexibility, and long-term market plans. The company ...
