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 ...

The rotary inductive sensors utilize resistance inductive capacitance (RLC) measuring technology, rather than a traditional magnetic positioning element—delivering complete immunity to EMC ...

Howard A. Schaevitz Technologies Inc. Pennsauken, N.J. Engineers continue to increase their use of linear-position and displacement sensors for providing real-time information to feedback-hungry PLCs ...

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.

As you accelerate down the road and use your gas pedal to throttle in the appropriate amount of energy, you expect a smooth implementation from your foot to the motor. The electronic throttle control ...

HOW DOES THE CHOICE OF PROXIMITY SENSORS AFFECT THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF MOTION-CENTRIC AUTOMATION SYSTEMS? Alex • Baumer: Proximity sensors, through their specifications, have a significant effect ...
