Eddy current displacement sensor

An eddy current displacement sensor is a specialized device that is commonly used by various industries to very accurately measure the measurement of an object without making contact with that object. It's also small and light, so it won't be an issue to use elsewhere. It can see how far away it is from an object, which is something extremely important for a lot of jobs. In this article, we will explore what is so special about this sensor, how it works and where it finds use in the real world. 

Eddy current displacement sensors are able to achieve a remarkably high accuracy of measurement. These sensors detect small electrical currents called eddy currents. 04] Eddy currents in loss inductor coils and through work pieces depend on the AC field change in them. As these currents pass through some material they generate a magnetic field of their own that interacts with the original field. The sensors are tuned to detect these eddy currents and calculate the spacing between the sensor and the object it is observing closely. 

Non-contact measurement using eddy current displacement sensor

These sensors are so precise that they will detect minuscule changes in distance, as little as 0.01 microns! In case you need some context as to how tiny that is, the average human hair is around 70 microns in thickness! These kinds of sensors are ideal for tasks that require super accuracy, such as manufacturing the parts of computers, components of airplanes, parts of cars and medical instruments to an order of precision. These sensors help various industries and ensure that the products are manufactured appropriately and that their internal components are functioning clearly and correctly. 

Eddy current displacement sensors are compact and light-weights, which makes them suitable for applications where due to space limitations are a hindrance. KASINTON acceleration sensor unique size makes them useful for reaching into tight spaces, catering to many various jobs. Because of their light weight, they can also be used in areas where weight is an important factor, such as in robots that must be able to move easily or in military equipment where weight is critical.
