Position Sensors

Inductive sensors are highly reliable devices used for the detection of conductive objects, such as metals and carbon, in various industrial applications. These sensors are especially valued for their ability to detect metallic objects without making physical contact, making them ideal for use in environments where non-contact detection is crucial for maintaining process integrity and equipment longevity.

Inductive proximity sensors operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction. They consist of a coil and an oscillator that generate an electromagnetic field near the sensor’s surface. When a metallic object enters this field, it disrupts the electromagnetic field, causing a change in the oscillator’s amplitude. This change is then processed to trigger an output signal, indicating the presence of the object.
