Eddy current proximity sensors
Eddy current proximity sensors are used to detect non-magnetic but conductive materials.
Applications
• Proximity sensors are also used in machine vibration monitoring to measure the variation in distance between
a shaft and its support bearing.
• This is common in large steam turbines, compressors and motors that use sleeve-type bearing.
• Use with smartphones and tablet computers.
• Parking sensors.
• Food processing industry.
• Security usages.
