The Virtu ultrasonic proximity sensor is available in models with analog voltage or current outputs and has a range of 2 to 20 in. The $129 sensor is offered in dual-mount or barrel-style housings.

The AccuProx analog proximity sensor detects objects up to 25 mm away, four times the range of shielded and unshielded tubular analog sensors without compromising output accuracy. Typical applications ...

APDS-9801 is a module that integrates functions of an Analog ambient light sensor (ALS) and a proximity sensor (PS). The sensor has four chips in one small package: an ambient light sensor IC, ...

An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front-edge ...

The line of capacitive proximity sensors with potentiometer adjustment for sensitivity allows sensing of metal and nonmetal objects through insulating materials, such as wood or plastic. They are ...

CHICAGO, July 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The proximity sensor market is projected to grow from USD 4.3 billion in 2024 and is estimated to reach USD 6.6 billion by 2030; it is expected to grow at a ...

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...
