Series 7000 proximity sensors are rugged, cost-effective products for sensing position on 2 to 8-in. bore tie-rod cylinders. The switches feature selfadjusting clamps that grip standard and custom ...

These differ from proximity and inductive displacement sensors in that they use an air-core coil instead of a ferromagnetic core. This eliminates the magnetic losses and thermal nonlinearities ...

Festo has launched its Pneumatic Essentials program, an initiative designed to streamline ordering of 16 of the company’s fundamental pneumatic components. The components include air preparation, ...

The proper size and configuration of proximity sensors used for measuring rotation depends on whether the sensor is or is not an embeddable type. For embeddable sensors, the spacing of each tooth ...

We describe a single fingertip-mounted sensing system for robot manipulation that provides proximity (pre-touch), contact detection (touch), and force sensing (post-touch). The sensor system consists ...
