How Eddy Displacement Sensors Operate:

Eddy current displacement sensors work by generating an alternating magnetic field from a coil in the sensor head. When this magnetic field interacts with an electrically conductive target, eddy currents are induced in the target material. These eddy currents create a secondary magnetic field that opposes the original field, causing a change in impedance in the sensor coil. This change in impedance is proportional to the distance between the sensor and the target. The sensor electronics then convert this impedance change into a voltage signal that can be measured and analysed.
