Motor positioning, for example, wasn’t as straightforward as using a rotary encoder and a microcontroller.

Magnetic sensors detect the presence of magnetic fields using numerous sensing techniques. Magnetic-inductive (MI) technology was the dominant method for many years.

Ever-more complex industrial motor control requires methods to enhance precision. Enter the inductive position sensor.

Magnetic-free dual-coil technology can create a high-resolution, precise, and reliable solution for motor position sensors used in robotics, industrial, and medical devices.

Here is a quick look at how contactless potentiometers work, where they are used, and why they are gaining ground.

Over the years, many users have abandoned the use of reed switches due to their failure rate and have utilized mechanical or inductive sensors to detect pneumatic cylinder position. AMR and GMR ...

Renesas announced an inductive position sensor technology for highly accurate motor position sensor ICs for robotics, industrial and medical systems.
