Cylindrical version Inductive proximity sensor


Senyd inductive proximity sensor is a type of sensor that detects the presence or absence of an object based on its material properties, specifically its conductivity or magnetic permeability. These sensors use electromagnetic induction to generate a magnetic field and detect changes in that field caused by the presence of an object. Inductive sensors are commonly used in industrial automation, robotics, and other applications where non-contact detection of metal objects is required. They are known for their reliability, durability, and ability to operate in harsh environments.

Magnetostrictive linear position sensors

Senyd magnetostrictive linear position sensor is a type of sensor used to measure linear position by utilizing the magnetostrictive effect. This sensor consists of a magnetostrictive waveguide, which is a wire or rod made of a magnetostrictive material such as nickel or iron.The sensor works by sending a high-frequency electrical pulse down the magnetostrictive waveguide, which generates a magnetic field. When a movable magnet interacts with this magnetic field, it causes the magnetostrictive material to change its shape slightly, producing a mechanical wave that travels back to the sensor head. By measuring the time it takes for this wave to return to the sensor head, the sensor can accurately determine the position of the magnet along the waveguide.
