Eddy Current Sensor Market Summary
The eddy current sensor is a sensing device based on the eddy current mutual inductance effect that can achieve high-precision detection of internal defects and trace displacements of the measured object. It is widely used in equipment because of its significant advantages such as non-contact measurement, wide frequency response, and strong anti-interference ability. Non-destructive testing, online condition monitoring and other important areas.
The eddy current sensor can statically and dynamically measure the distance between the measured metal conductor and the probe surface with non-contact, high linearity and high resolution. It is a non-contact linearized measurement tool. The eddy current sensor can accurately measure the static and dynamic relative displacement changes between the measured object (must be a metal conductor) and the probe end face.
The core of the sensor probe is a detection coil, which passes a high-frequency AC signal. The high-frequency magnetic field generated by the coil generates eddy currents in the metal conductor. The eddy currents in turn affect the magnetic field strength, and ultimately change the inductance and resistance of the detection coil. . The closer the distance between the coil and the conductor, the greater the intensity of the eddy current formed in the conductor, and the greater the change in the coil inductance and resistance. Therefore, the inductance and resistance values of the coil have a corresponding relationship with the distance. The precision demodulation circuit inside the sensor can obtain the impedance information of the coil to achieve displacement measurement.
