The most popular proximity sensors fall into the following categories: inductive, capacitive, photoelectric and ultrasonic. Use this graphic to compare them to help determine which is best suited ...

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 ...

Inductive proximity sensors consist of a coil, oscillator, detector and the output circuit and can be used to detect metallic targets only. In their operation, the coil generates a high frequency ...

Proximity sensors have sensing ranges from <1 to 120 mm, with longer ranges requiring larger sensors. For example, sensors with a sensing range of 2 to 25 mm are supplied in 8 to 30 mm diameter ...

With improved object detection and ASIC technology, these sensors can help to identify an object placed in the jaws of an effector or the proximity to a potential hazard. Contrinex Photoelectric ...

Inductive displacement sensors are a big step up from proximity sensors, but mostly thanks to more electronics and processing. Instead of a binary output, the classic inductive displacement sensors ...

The new W10 photoelectric proximity sensor from Sick has four variants, which differ in their operating distances and mounting options. The W10 features a touchscreen interface and three ...

Reliable and repeatable The SICK W10 is a photoelectric proximity sensor that uses intelligent onboard algorithms developed from the experience of common industry applications to achieve high ...

Whilst standard compact light barriers and photoelectric proximity sensors are widely available, the ultra-compact 0330 sensor provides enhanced performance reserve capacity with features such as 3D ...
