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.

Rectangular compact inductive-proximity DC sensors from APS offer top or front sensing capabilities at ranges of 2.5 mm and 4 mm. The sensors come in two- or three-wire configurations. The ...

Featuring a thin-profile rectangular housing, the CD46 Series proximity sensor is the latest expansion of the vendor’s third generation Tripleshield line of capacitive sensors. These ...

Designing with high-fidelity capacitive proximity sensors requires careful consideration of mechanical design, sensor placement/design, and end-application operating environments. Careful evaluation ...
