Eddy current braking systems utilise the generation of induced currents within a conductor, created by changes in magnetic fields, to provide smooth and contactless deceleration in various transport ...

Eddy currents are not just textbook curiosities; they are the hidden loops that appear whenever metal meets a changing magnetic field. From DIY levitation tricks to clever braking systems, these ...

Over the last 40 years, permanent-magnet couplings have come into the manufacturing forefront. This technology can operate at high speeds without contact or wear of active components, and at ...

One of the most popular types of equipment used in the scrap processing industry today is the eddy current separator. Eddy current systems are often used in processing operations where nonferrous ...

A magnet falling down a copper tube is slowed by magnetic fields from eddy currents induced in the tube. A magnet falling down a glass tube is unaffected. Set up lab stands, each with a 3-finger clamp ...

A nondestructive testing technology called eddy current array (ECA) is capable of driving numerous eddy current coils that are positioned next to one another in the same probe assembly. In the probe, ...

It seems like engineering 101, but do you actually remember the specific differences between inductive proximity, inductive displacement, and eddy-current sensors? I asked a few friends and everyone ...
