Micro-Epsilon has custom-engineered inductive sensors for OEMs in a variety of industry sectors such as hydraulics and pneumatics, military, aerospace and defence, automotive, agricultural machinery, off-highway vehicles, household appliances and medical devices.
Due to its high production capacity (up to one million sensors per year), Micro-Epsilon can deliver cost effective sensor solutions for applications where the highest standards apply. These include sensors for use in high atmospheric pressures, high temperatures and high vibrations, as well as for vacuums, hazardous (ATEX-certified) environments, and clean rooms. An extremely wide range of catalogue and modified sensors form the basis for relatively quick and simple adaptation to many custom OEM applications.
Chris Jones, Managing Director at Micro-Epsilon UK commented: "Often, we come across applications where standard traditional inductive sensors and controllers are not suitable, as the technical requirements of the application cannot be met by standard catalogue inductive sensors in the marketplace. As a company, one of our strengths is having the ability to select the most suitable inductive measuring principle and then modifying the sensor to meet the exact needs of an OEM customer. For example, these modifications can include varying the measuring range of the sensor, having integral or separate electronics, changing the mechanical form factor, having the target as a sleeve or plunger in hydraulic cylinders, or providing different mounting options and interfaces. In addition to providing standard LVDT driver electronics, Micro-Epsilon can also provide miniature ASICs for medium to high volume low cost applications."
Micro-Epsilon's induSENSOR family of inductive sensors includes six core product ranges, which are based on the inductive measuring principle, the LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) principle, or patented variants of these measuring methods.
Conventional 3-coil LVDT sensors
Gauge LVDT's with 8mm body diameter and many custom options
Inductive-potentiometric sensors LVP and VIP series
Long stroke sensors for hydraulic applications
EDS pressure resistant sensor series
EDS miniature series, 3mm diameter
