  • 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 and has to be investigated for specific sensor configurations. Furthermore, solutions and strategies for reducing the side metal effect are explained and evaluated.
