Over the past decade, photoelectric sensing has undergone a steady transition in which older, conventional sensors are being replaced by an innovative technology called background suppression (BGS).

The new SA1N series of space-saving subminiature photoelectric sensors is available in a barrel-mount fiber-type diffuse-reflective infrared LED style, secured with M6 nuts through a mounting hole; ...

Fiber-optic sensors work well in tight spots and in applications with a high degree of electrical noise, but care must be taken when specifying these critical components. Sensing part presence in ...

The monitoring of rotation can involve such sensor types as proximity, photoelectric, resolvers, encoders, and tachometer generators. Most determine direction of rotation, speed, and angular position ...
