Non-contact Sensors are devices that sense a characteristic feature of the environment like temperature, proximity and others without actually coming in contact with the medium. They are solid-state electronic devices that create an energy field or beam and react to a disturbance in that field. The measurement is done using photoelectric, inductive, capacitive or ultrasonic technologies. As the name suggests Non- contact Sensors are never in physical contact with the measuring surface and this feature eliminates the possibility of any jams, wear and tear or damage to the sensor or the measuring surface. These sensors are also more durable, reliable and easy to use and install compared to Contact Sensors.
Non-Contact Sensors Market Drivers:
• There has been a shift in demand from Contact Sensing technologies to Non-contact Sensing Technologies in the Global Sensor Market.
• Even though the Non-contact sensors are more expensive than Contact Sensors, the sheers number of advantages it provides over Contact Sensors makes them the preferred choice.
• Non-contact sensors provide end users with high rate of accuracy in measurement, resistance to contamination and provide authentic results.
• Technological advancements are also making consumers seek more accurate, reliable and durable sensors.
