Advances in electromagnetic sensor design provide the potential for high resolution imaging of subsurface objects and material properties at the microscopic (micrometer) and mesoscopic (meter) scales.

Conductive targets affect capacitive sensors as well, but in a different way. When a conductive target enters the sensor field it forms a counter electrode to the active face of the sensor.

Inductive proximity switches or capacitive sensors are commonly used to detect actuator positions. However, accurate position sensing over a full range of travel requires an encoder or sometimes a ...

Abstract: An on-chip inductive-capacitive sensor is proposed to detect metal debris and air bubbles in hydraulic oil. The sensor includes inductance and capacitance detection units. The inductance ...

The SICK IMG inductive sensor family operates in environments where many inductive sensors fail to perform. Suitable for end position and home position detection, as well as simple speed detection ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. introduced a new high-precision position sensor built on inductive technology for industrial and AMS applications. Compared to solutions based on magnetic technology, the ...

This high-speed inductive-position sensor includes differential outputs, fast sample rates, and features that make it functional-safety-ready for ISO 26262 compliance in the Automotive Safety ...
