Abstract :
This paper deals with the optimization of a customary inductive proximity sensor. The focus in this paper lays on the significance of the side metal effect in magnetic sensors, which has remarkable influence on the accuracy of these sensors. It will be explained what the sensors field of application is and the difficulties to handle with. Furthermore, solutions for reducing the side metal effect are explained and evaluated.
