There are many different series under ifm sensors, including inductive and capacitive sensors. So what's the difference between the two sensors?
Indispensable in industrial use, ifm inductive sensors offer high switching accuracy and switching frequencies as well as wear-free, touch-free operation, which offers superior functionality compared to mechanical switches. Together, they can detect all metals without touch and are insensitive to dust, moisture and vibrations. It has (1) low sensor tolerance and safe detection; (2) Wide operating temperature scale; (3) Reduction of warehousing after extensive use; (4) Provide high maintenance and other characteristics for the requirements of harsh industrial environments.
Compared to inductive sensors that only identify metallic objects, ifm capacitive sensors are able to detect non-metallic materials and can also be used for non-touch detection of any object. (1) The switching distance can be adjusted by the potentiometer or the teach-in button; (2) Accessories for installation on the water tank or sight glass; (3) Strong anti-interference ability; (4) Plastic or metal shell, suitable for different uses and other features. It can be used in many different places such as glass, food, wood, semiconductor, paper, plastics and chemical industries.
The above is an introduction to the characteristics of inductive and capacitive sensors in ifm sensors and where they are used from two aspects.

Choice of pressure sensor – ifm
The first step in selecting a pressure sensor is to determine the pressure to be measured. Exciter sensors are divided into mechanical pressure and pneumatic pressure (hydraulic). The mechanical pressure unit is generally N.KN.KGF, etc. The pneumatic and hydraulic units are generally KPA, MPa, PSI, etc. This article describes the selection of mechanical pressures.

Precautions for accelerometer installation
Pick the right adhesive! We need to know the importance of adhesives, many people do not pay attention to the selection of adhesives, the natural frequency of the accelerometer is determined by the degree of coupling of the bond, so it is important to choose the right adhesive. The weight of the accelerometer is also what we have to test.

The reason why the load cell has no signal – ifm
When using load cells to detect the distance of objects, many users encounter the problem that the load cell does not output a signal after detecting an object, resulting in the inability to perform subsequent data analysis. But the reason is not always like that, the load cell does not lose after detecting the object.
