Here’s a comparison of the performance and limitations of inductive, capacitive, photelectric and ultrasonic proximity sensors.

As wearable technology gains popularity, proximity sensors find applications in devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers, contributing to the proximity sensor market's expansion.

Rising trend of process automation in factories and the continuous growth of smartphone and tablet market, largely drive the proximity & displacement sensors market.

The new Prosense Basic series of proximity sensors offer a low-cost option for general industrial applications. Starting at $9.75, these IP67-rated sensors also come with a lifetime warranty.

The low cost of proximity sensors is the main reason they are chosen over encoders for these applications. Other factors include their reliability, size, and ease of implementation. Inductive ...

Semtech announced the SX9300, an ultra-low power capacitive proximity sensor with on-chip Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) engine for human body detecti ...

The company hasn’t seen widespread adoption of that technology, at least not yet, but its next application of the same principles could find a more receptive audience: ultrasound proximity sensing.
