Inductive sensors from Micro-Epsilon operate on the eddy current principle. They're engineered for non-contact measurement of displacement, distance, position, oscillation, and vibration.
These inductive sensors are especially well-suited for high-accuracy applications in demanding industrial environments, such as pressure, dirt, and temperature variations. The sensors deliver exceptionally precise results where submicron-level accuracy is necessary.

Inductive (eddy current) sensors from Micro-Epsilon are commonly used in harsh operating environments where maximum accuracy is essential. Resistance to dirt, pressure, and extreme temperatures is the key characteristic. These sensors also operate at high speeds, measuring oscillations and vibrations with a maximum frequency response of 100 kHz (-3 dB).
