 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The inductive sensor is based on Faraday’s Law of Induction. The temporal variations
of the Magnetic Flux Φ through a N turns circuit will induce a voltage e which follows:

by assuming that the induced magnetic field B is

homogeneous over a section S

The inductive proximity sensor contains a certain type of solid-state

control system. It contains an oscillator circuit that generates a high-
frequency magnetic field. When the metal object enters the field, it
disturbs the magnetic field, this disturbance results in a change of state
in the high-frequency circuit.

 Magnetic Proximity Sensor

Magnetic sensors use GMR (Giant Magneto-Resistive

Effect) technology. The measuring cell consists of
resistors with several extremely fine, ferromagnetic and
non-magnetic layers. Two of these GMR resistors are
used to form a conventional Wheatstone bridge
circuit which produces a large signal proportional to the
magnetic field when a magnetic field is present. A
threshold value is defined and an output signal is switched
via a comparator.
Optical Proximity Sensor

Optical proximity sensors generally cost more than inductive proximity

sensors, and about the same as capacitive sensors. They are widely
used in automated systems because they have been available longer
and because some can fit into small locations. These sensors are more
commonly known as light beam sensors of the thru-beam type or of
the retro reflective type.

Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor

 Ultrasonic proximity sensors emit and receive sound waves. The

carrier signal is a high frequency, inaudible sound wave. They
detect the presence of the target object in one of two
configurations.
 Diffuse or Reflective sensors have the transmitter and receiver
packaged in the same housing. When a target enters the sensing
range of the device, the ultrasonic waves are reflected back to
the sensor.

Detection in Adverse Climates Noise Interference

Applications

 Parking assistance for car bumpers that sense the distance of other nearby
cars and helps in parking procedure
 Sheet break sensing in paper machine
 In smartphones that come in close proximity with user's face and get
unlocked
Konsep dari cara kerja proximity sensor ini sebenarnya tidak jauh berbeda dengan infra merah. Yakni ketika ada sebuah benda yang
menghalangi proximity sensor dengan jarak tertentu. Maka sensor proximity ini akan secara otomatis aktif. Tidak hanya sebagai
“pelindung” ketika pengguna melakukan panggilan, namun juga perkembangan proximity sensor sudah banyak berkembang guna
menambah daya tarik sebuah smart screen.
