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

Inductive eddy current position/displacement sensors require an electrically conductive target. The target does not have to be grounded, and in general, the more electrically conductive it is, the ...

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 ...

A magnet falling down a copper tube is slowed by magnetic fields from eddy currents induced in the tube. A magnet falling down a glass tube is unaffected. Set up lab stands, each with a 3-finger clamp ...

A magnet sliding down a copper ramp is slowed by magnetic fields from eddy currents induced in the tube. A magnet sliding down a Plexiglas ramp is unaffected. A magnet sliding down a brass ramp goes ...
