Here’s a comparison of the performance and limitations of inductive, capacitive, photelectric and ultrasonic proximity sensors.

Instead of measuring light, we measure the ambient voltage field on pin A5 and use it to detect if someone is too close to our Arduino. A5 is used as a “floating input”, but unfortunately it is very ...

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 ...

Though it's not their primary role, proximity sensors can be harnessed to detect motion, and sometimes, even measure it. Here are some of the techniques in use today.

No restrictions with sensors from Baumer The comprehensive portfolio of miniature inductive sensors offers users maximum flexibility for reliable solutions in the tool clamping process. The customer ...

In order to find the dynamic TDC a microwave sensor was installed on the head and a proximity probe on the wall of 4-cyl SI engines. The dynamic TDC determined by the microwave system exhibited fairly ...
