Standex-Meder Electronics announces its MK15 magnetically operated reed proximity sensors for surface-mount device (SMD) mounting, ideal for electronic PCBs where all components are surface-mounted.

Position Sensors play an important role in our daily lives. A position sensor, as the name indicates, provides feedback on the position of the measurand by detecting the presence/absence of an object ...

A new series of magnetically-operated reed proximity switches are said to be suitable replacements for mechanical switches, especially in wet and dirty applications. The MK4/5/13 Series reed sensors ...

Proximity sensors head off these and other related conditions by detecting speed, accuracy, target orientation and position, part ejection, and hole placement. The use of proximity sensors within a ...

Vishay has release of two high-resolution automotive grade optical reflective proximity sensors that operate down to 20µm for force sensing applications. In use, an infra-red beam is sent out and its ...

Regular magnets are an irreplaceable solution in many applications in the field of electromechanics. They are used in simple automation (door closing sensors), as well as in more elaborate systems, ...

Selecting the right sensor is a critical step in electronic system design, influencing accuracy, reliability, and long-term ...

With increased automation of complex production systems, components that are capable of acquiring and transmitting information regarding the production process become necessary. Proximity sensors -- ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.
