Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

Viatran develops pressure transmitters with four different pressure sensing technologies. The company analyzes the requirements of an application and selects the technology that ideally serves that ...

The global capacitive sensors market is witnessing significant expansion, driven by the increasing adoption of multi-touch capacitive sensing technology in consumer electronics, automotive, and ...

The motion-control market continues to grow and so does the need for sensor controls that help guide it. The advances of smart motion systems will trickle down into several different markets. Smart ...
