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 introduces a 16-bit inductive sensor for robotics, industrial, and mobility applications. The new dual-input MLX90514 delivers absolute position with high noise immunity through its SSI output ...

Download this article in PDF format. We’ve been waiting for a long time and now it’s being implemented widely—namely, artificial intelligence (AI). From automatic factories, self-driving cars and ...

In any application using motors for automation, there is a need to ensure accurate control of the motor. To make this possible, the position and speed of the rotor in the motor, which is usually ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

But their limited range and linearity limit many of their applications to detecting odd or irregularly shaped targets rather than actual position. On the other hand, inductive linear-position sensors ...

The rotary inductive sensors utilize resistance inductive capacitance (RLC) measuring technology, rather than a traditional magnetic positioning element—delivering complete immunity to EMC ...

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 ...

Closed-loop motor control generally requires sensors that accurately determine the position of the motor rotor to effectively implement communication of the excitation for the windings (an exception ...
