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 ...

A traffic signal sensor in Portland. Welcome to our newest column: Bike Science with Shawn Small One of the more frustrating aspects of cycling in an urban environment is not being able to trigger a ...

If you're a regular bicycle commuter, then you've no doubt experienced the following scenario: you're the only vehicle going in your direction at a controlled intersection, and the light is red, but ...

Download this article in PDF format. We’ve been waiting for a long time and now it’s being implemented widely—namely, artificial intelligence (AI). From automatic factories, self-driving cars and ...

Impact of stray magnetic fields on the electrification of motor vehicles. The role of inductive sensors to reduce risk, cost, and size in EMI-laden applications. The clean and efficient design of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Renesas has invented a non-contact industrial rotary inductive position sensor that works up to 600,000rpm and has a propagation delay less than 2μs. This image is part one of the snippets of ...

From roller coasters and farm equipment to discrete and batch manufacturing, inductive sensors enable precise metal detection and automation across every industry. Learn more about their diverse ...
