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 ...

Eddy current displacement sensors (ECDS) represent a mature, yet continuously evolving, non-contact measurement technology that utilises the principles of electromagnetic induction. When an ...

When the job at hand is measuring something with micron-range precision, thoughts generally turn to a tool with a Mitutoyo or Starrett nameplate. But with a clever design and a little electronics know ...

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 ...

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 ...

The advances of smart motion systems will trickle down into several different markets. Smart motion systems are defined by their use of connected networks, advanced sensors, autonomous machinery, and ...
