Abstract: A servo motor system and method has been developed to provide speed, orientation, location, and/or direction detection using a single inductive sensor. Direction, orientation, speed, and/or location detection are detected using a single channel inductive sensor in a servo motor control system. Mechanical control systems using servo motors are easily upgraded with added safety, precision control, and automation using the inductive sensor system described herein.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods have been developed to provide speed, location, and direction detection of a moving object or moving component using a single inductive sensor system. Direction detection, speed detection, and location detection may be provided by the same inductive sensor and used as feedback in a motion control systems. Control systems of tractors, draglines, power shovels, and cranes may be easily upgraded with added safety, precision control, and automation using the inductive sensor system described herein.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for detection of a direction of movement of a component using a single inductive sensor. The component may be a rotational component such as a motor, shaft, gear, or the like. An ON and/or OFF time of the inductive sensor is measured as north and south poles of one or more magnets are moved past a face of the inductive sensor. A directional correlation is established which allows for determination of an unknown direction of movement.
