We’re used to thinking of limit switches as a mechanical device that cuts the motor connection before physical damage can occur. [Anthony] decided to try a different route with this project. He built ...

Limit switches: A mechanical limit switch interlocks a mechanical motion or position with an electrical circuit. A good starting point for limit-switch selection is contact arrangement. The most ...

New five-way adjustable limit-switch-style sensors, for 10 to 30-Vdc operation, have an active sensing face that can be adjusted for front, top, bottom, left, or right-facing targets. Four-corner LEDs ...

A new limit switch features a precision inductive sensor with a hysterisis of less than 1 µm, claimed as the lowest on the market. The IPS05/4608KS inductive sensor switch has a sensing distance of ...

Position Sensors play an important role in our daily lives. A position sensor, as the name indicates, provides feedback on the position of the measurand by detecting the presence/absence of an object ...
