Inductive Sensors

Inductive sensors convert displacement into changes in coil inductance. Widely used in machine tools, automated production lines, and other industrial equipment, these sensors are reliable and resistant to contaminants. They are ideal for measuring displacement, deformation, and component alignment.

The operation of inductive sensors is based on variations in the inductance of a coil wound around a ferromagnetic core as the sensor's anchor moves.

Types of Inductive Sensors:

• Variable air gap (displacement: 0.001–1 mm)
• Variable air gap area
• Solenoidal (displacement: 10–60 mm)
• Discrete

Inductive sensors can also be classified as non-reversible or reversible. Non-reversible sensors measure input values from zero to a positive maximum, while reversible sensors measure input values from zero to both positive and negative maximums.

These sensors are essential for precise and robust industrial automation solutions.
