Eddy current displacement sensors belong to the group of inductive displacement sensors and are ideal for industrial applications. In contrast to conventional inductive sensors, the measuring principle of eddy current sensors enables measurements on non-ferromagnetic materials (e.g. aluminium) as well as on ferromagnetic materials (e.g. steel). Eddy current sensors from Micro-Epsilon offer extremely precise non-contact and wear-free measurements of displacement, distance, position, oscillation, vibration and thickness. They are ideally suited for monitoring machinery and equipment as they can make measurements in harsh industrial environments, even where pressure, dirt, or temperature fluctuations occur.

Advantages over conventional inductive sensors

• High frequency response for dynamic measurements
• High resolution in the submicron range
• High linearity and temperature stability
• Measurement on ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic targets

Benefit from the special features
