Here’s a comparison of the performance and limitations of inductive, capacitive, photelectric and ultrasonic proximity sensors.

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 ...

Many inductive proximity sensors are sealed to prevent moisture or contamination from entering the device. Some are also rated IP68 or IP69K for applications where the sensor may be submerged or ...
