Displacement sensors play a key role in many applications. In this paper, an inductive structure is presented which changes its inductance with deformation, which serves as a measure of displacement.

For its eddyNCDT series of non-contact inductive displacement sensors Micro-Epsilon has introduced a new vacuum feedthrough. The new eddy/fB0/fB0/triax feedthrough allows the sensors to be used in ...

Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has introduced a new vacuum feedthrough for its eddyNCDT series of non-contact inductive displacement sensors.

Both eddy current sensors as well as inductive switches and displacement sensors each have their respective advantages when measuring position and displacement of objects in harsh environments.

General Type II technologies include confocal devices, chromatic aberration-based sensors, triangulation-based devices, reflectance-based fiber sensors, and inductive (LVDT) and capacitive sensors.
