Abstract :
In metrology eddy current non-contact transducer have been widely used for measurement of position, displacement, cracks, vibration, proximity and alignment, as well as parts sorting applications over the past years. By reason of further developments of front end sensor elements as well as electronics, new application areas of eddy current sensors are technically feasible. In this paper lately achieved results in eddy current sensor developments will be presented.
