An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

The AccuProx analog proximity sensor detects objects up to 25 mm away, four times the range of shielded and unshielded tubular analog sensors without compromising output accuracy. Typical applications ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

APDS-9801 is a module that integrates functions of an Analog ambient light sensor (ALS) and a proximity sensor (PS). The sensor has four chips in one small package: an ambient light sensor IC, ...

DW Series round metal inductive proximity sensors with analog outputs are now available from AutomationDirect in 8mm, 12mm, 18mm and 30mm cylindrical sizes. These reliable DC-powered (10-30V or 15-30V ...

The DFRobot LoRaWAN Control Terminal is a compact, DIN-rail mountable industrial IIoT terminal that features long-range ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front-edge ...

The line of capacitive proximity sensors with potentiometer adjustment for sensitivity allows sensing of metal and nonmetal objects through insulating materials, such as wood or plastic. They are ...

From roller coasters and farm equipment to discrete and batch manufacturing, inductive sensors enable precise metal detection ...

Sharp GP2D12 and 2Y0A02 infrared rangers output a voltage proportionate to the distance of an object from the sensor. The GPD12 senses objects at a distance of 10-80cm, while the 2Y0A02 has twice the ...
