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 ...

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.

Controlling an earthmoving machine to perform a task requires knowing exactly where its bucket or blade contacts the dirt. Therefore, in addition to knowing the machine’s position, it is necessary to ...

A common application seen throughout the industrial and commercial sectors is proximity sensing—detecting when some object is physically close to a sensor. A variety of processes can be implemented ...

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...

Where non-magnetic inductive sensing is an attractive approach. The challenges of configuring these sensors. How a new trio of sensor-interface ICs and coil-optimizer tool simplify the challenge. It ...

Until quite recently, accurate measurement of the level of fluid in a container was remotely obtained using systems that required cumbersome cabling and hardware. Now, Senior Scientist Stan Woodard of ...
