Eddy current sensors

Eddy current sensors are advanced devices designed for accurate, non-contact detection of metallic objects and linear displacement. Utilizing electromagnetic induction, these sensors generate eddy currents in conductive materials, resulting in measurable changes in the output signal. Our wide range of eddy current sensors offers exceptional sensitivity and accuracy, making them ideal for applications in industrial automation, aerospace, and automotive sectors. These sensors provide significant advantages, including non-contact operation, which minimizes wear and tear, leading to longer operational life and reduced maintenance costs.

Reliable measurement with eddy current sensors

In addition, eddy current sensors are highly resistant to dust, dirt, and moisture, making them suitable for harsh industrial environments. Available in various configurations and output types, they easily integrate into existing systems, enhancing operational efficiency. Whether you require precise position measurement or thickness gauging, our selection of eddy current sensors offers tailored solutions to meet your specific needs.

Considerations for selecting eddy current sensors

When choosing eddy current sensors for your application, several important factors should be considered to ensure optimal performance and compatibility:

• Measurement range: Identify the required sensing range and choose a sensor that can accurately measure the full extent of displacement or distance.
• Target material and geometry: Consider the type and shape of the metallic material. Eddy current sensors work best with conductive materials, and their effectiveness can vary based on the target’s size and electrical conductivity.
• Sensitivity and resolution: Assess the sensor’s sensitivity and resolution. Higher sensitivity is crucial for detecting smaller displacements in precise applications.
• Output type: Choose from various output signals, including analog voltage, current, and digital formats. Ensure compatibility with your control systems for seamless integration.
• Environmental conditions: Evaluate the operating environment for factors like temperature, humidity, and exposure to contaminants that can impact performance. Select a sensor designed to withstand these conditions.
• Mounting and size: Check the physical dimensions and mounting requirements to ensure the sensor fits your installation space and is easy to mount.
• Response time: For dynamic applications requiring real-time feedback, opt for sensors with faster response times to ensure timely data collection.

By thoughtfully evaluating these factors, you can choose the ideal eddy current sensor that meets your specific needs, ensuring reliable operation and precise measurements for your application.
