Eddy Current Displacement Sensors for Industry

Eddy current displacement sensors belong to the inductive displacement group of sensors and are well-adapted for industrial applications. Unlike conventional inductive sensors, the measuring principle for eddy current sensors enables measurements on non-ferromagnetic materials (e.g., aluminum) as well as ferromagnetic materials (e.g., steel). They are designed for non-contact and wear-free measurements of displacement, distance, position, oscillation, vibration, and thickness. Therefore, they are ideally suited to monitoring machines and systems — they can make measurements in harsh Industrial environments, even where pressure, dirt, or temperature fluctuations occur.
