Size and weight restrictions limit the kind of sensors that can be used in compact applications, such as robotic end effectors. The SuperShorty inductive sensor line fits applications with space restrictions.

These sensors weigh about 0.7 g, and have diameters as small as 6.5 mm and lengths as short as 6 mm. The electronics are self-contained, making remote amplifiers unnecessary, and are placed in stainless-steel housings, making them suitable in a range of challenging applications.
