An encoder is a device ( transducer ) that is used to convert rotary or linear motion into useful information. The primary parameter determined are speed, velocity, distance, position, or direction. A typical application will use one or more off...
Inductive sensors detect metal objects contactless and wear-free. For this, they use a high-frequency electromagnetic AC field that interacts with the target. Their strengths are the enormous durability, reliability, high switching frequencies...
Inductive Sensors 1. Flush (Shielded) Can be mounted inside metal surfaces Shorter sensing distance 2. Non-flush (Unshielded) Must be mounted away from metal Longer sensing distance Output Types PNP (sourcing) – outputs positive voltage NPN...
