An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

The AccuProx analog proximity sensor detects objects up to 25 mm away, four times the range of shielded and unshielded tubular analog sensors without compromising output accuracy. Typical applications ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

APDS-9801 is a module that integrates functions of an Analog ambient light sensor (ALS) and a proximity sensor (PS). The sensor has four chips in one small package: an ambient light sensor IC, ...

Latest sensor models offer multiple ranges and ambient light suppression. The newest additions to Balluff’s line of distance sensors feature selectable modes that ...

We live in an analog world full of information useful to our civilization. We measure just about everything imaginable via sensors and convert the data into digital signals utilizing analog-to-digital ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

Sharp GP2D12 and 2Y0A02 infrared rangers output a voltage proportionate to the distance of an object from the sensor. The GPD12 senses objects at a distance of 10-80cm, while the 2Y0A02 has twice the ...
