Howard A. Schaevitz Technologies Inc. Pennsauken, N.J. Engineers continue to increase their use of linear-position and displacement sensors for providing real-time information to feedback-hungry PLCs ...
When reviewing new sensor technology used in the discrete manufacturing industries, we wondered if end users were simply replacing older technologies or strategically using new sensors to gather more ...
Sensors for the measurement of displacement based on a number of different physical principles are available for a wide range of applications. This article considers systems capable of resolutions of ...
Eddy current displacement sensors (ECDS) represent a mature, yet continuously evolving, non-contact measurement technology that utilises the principles of electromagnetic induction. When an ...
Bruker’s UMT TriboLab™ test system has the ability to accurately and reliably perform such precision measurements across wide displacement (µm to mm) and force (mN to kN) ranges. This extraordinary ...
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 ...
