In quick review, an inductive sensor generates an electromagnetic wave at a specific tuned frequency. The tuned circuit inside the sensor has a high impedance at that frequency, creating a high ...

Figure 5 The sensor circuit operation with an applied external magnetic field is shown here. (Image courtesy of PNI) Now, if we measure the time to complete a fixed number of oscillations or periods ...

Sensors that detect and track small metallic objects are handy gadgets, whether used to route workpieces on an assembly line or comb a beach for “treasures” lost in the sand. A typical sensor design ...

The inductive-sensing method uses two matched inductors connected into oscillator circuits with a resonating capacitor. One coil is a reference and the other is the sensor; the oscillators ...

What you’ll learn: Impact of stray magnetic fields on the electrification of motor vehicles. The role of inductive sensors to reduce risk, cost, and size in EMI-laden applications.

To illustrate the advantages of inductive encoder technology, let’s look at an example of an inductive sensor: the NCS32100 position sensor from onsemi. This sensor includes a controller and sensor ...

The IWFM 08 inductive sensor can be easily integrated into any design due to its compact outer dimensions of just 8 × 16 × 4.7 mm; a sturdy metal housing holds all the electronics.
