An Inductive Displacement Sensor is a type of sensor used to measure the position or movement of an object without direct contact. It operates based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where changes in the position of a conductive target affect the sensor's inductance. This allows for precise measurements in various applications, such as industrial automation and robotics. These sensors are commonly used in environments where contact-based sensors may wear out or fail, such as in manufacturing or automotive industries. They are valued for their durability, accuracy, and ability to function in harsh conditions, making them ideal for monitoring and controlling machinery.
