An inductive sensor is a device that detects or measures objects using the electromagnetic induction principle. A current will flow through a circuit that contains an inductor when the magnetic field through it changes, as opposed to when a current passes through an inductor and it develops a magnetic field.
An inductive sensor is an electronic device that can detect ferrous metal targets without physical contact. Inductive sensors will also detect non-ferrous metal targets like aluminum, brass, and copper Inductive sensors are frequently used in automated industrial processes such as metal detectors, traffic lights, car washes, and many others.
The sensor’s non-contact requirement makes it particularly advantageous for applications with difficult access or where a lot of dirt is present.
According to their modes of operation, inductive proximity sensors can be broadly divided into three categories: high-frequency oscillation types that use electromagnetic induction, magnetic types that use magnets, and capacitance types that use changes in capacitance.
The inductive sensor, also known as a magnetic pickup sensor, produces oscillating voltage during operation as a result of the inductive effect in the sensor’s coil, which is a particular type of sinusoidal waveform signal (AC voltage).
Inductive sensors are frequently used in automated industrial processes such as metal detectors, traffic lights, car washes, and many others. The sensor’s non-contact requirement makes it particularly advantageous for applications with difficult access or where a lot of dirt is present.
Global inductive sensor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
ams launches inductive position sensor for high-speed motors. The brand-new AS5715 sensor complies with the ISO 26262 functional safety standard. It can be used with many different kinds of multi-pole-pair motors and in both on-axis (end-of-shaft) and off-axis (through shaft or side-of-shaft) topologies.
The AS5715 offers two pairs of sine and cosine wave outputs that are differential analogue outputs. By using the host controller’s arctan function, these can be reduced to an angle measurement.
Ams claims that by mounting two AS5715 ICs on the sensor board, a fully redundant measurement system can be implemented. The new inductive sensor is currently available for sampling, and ams can provide an evaluation kit upon request.
