Inductive measuring sensors - so-called linear sensors - secured their place in automation long ago. The voltage values supplied by inductive analogue sensors are proportional to the distance to the detected metal object. The analogue signals are therefore absolute values, which represent the effective distance between the active surface and the object. Due to these properties, inductive measuring sensors are used primarily in instrumentation and control technology to detect travel, position, or eccentricity.

Whereas linear sensors previously had a fixed, unchangeable measuring range, which made their adjustment difficult, they are now equipped with electronic teach-in, widely extending their applications. The measuring range of the newly developed IWFK 20 analogue sensor in a flat plastic case is 0...10 mm on delivery. The actual range and the direction of output slope can be tailored to any application in a few seconds at the push of a button. The resolution of the measuring sensor is 10 microns.

A digital switching output with window function is also integrated in the unit, and can also be quickly and conveniently programmed by teach-in.
