A non-contact system (10) for sensing a property of a passing web of material (W) includes first and second sensors (14, 16) positioned on opposite sides of the web. The opposing sensors are repelled from the web and each other by gas bearings (22, 24) formed between the sensors and the web and attracted to each other by one or more polarized magnets (26, 25a, 25d, 25a', 27a-27d, 27a') embedded in the sensors. The resultant net force properly spaces the sensors from the web to ensure reliable and accurate sensing. The repelling force enables the sensors to react substantially instantaneously to changes in the pass line of the web. An automatic actuator/retractor (30) can be provided to withdraw the sensors, extend the sensors to or retract the sensors from adjacent the feed path.

L'invention porte sur un système sans contact (10) permettant de détecter une propriété d'une bande passante de matériau (W). Ce système comprend des premier et second capteurs (14, 16) positionnés de chaque côté de la bande. Ces capteurs sont repoussés de la bande et ramenés l'un vers l'autre par des paliers à gaz (22, 24) formés entre les capteurs et la bande et attirés l'un vers l'autre par un ou plusieurs aimants polarisés (26, 25a, 25d, 25a', 27a-27d, 27a') encastrés dans les capteurs. La force nette obtenue sépare convenablement les capteurs de la bande de façon à réaliser une détection fiable et précise. La force repoussante permet aux capteurs de réagir pratiquement instantanément aux changements de la ligne passante de la bande. Un actionneur/rétracteur automatique (30) peut être installé pour retirer les capteurs, les pousser ou les rétracter de la voie d'amenée adjacente.
