Everything about Inductive Sensor totally explained
An
inductive sensor is an
electronic proximity sensor, which detects metallic objects without touching them.
The
sensor consists of an
induction loop.
Electric current generates a
magnetic field, which collapses generating a current that falls asymptotically toward zero from its initial level when the input electricity ceases. The
inductance of the loop changes according to the material inside it and since metals are much more effective inductors than other materials the presence of metal increases the current flowing through the loop. This change can be detected by sensing circuitry, which can signal to some other device whenever metal is detected.
Common applications of inductive sensors include
metal detectors,
traffic lights,
car washes, and a host of automated industrial processes. Because the sensor doesn't require physical contact it's particularly useful for applications where access presents challenges or where dirt is prevalent. The sensing range is rarely greater than 6cm, however, and it has no directionality.
