Inductive Proximity Sensor

Home - Sensing - Position Sensors - Inductive Proximity Sensor

Designed to offer an efficient way of detecting the presence or absence of nearby metallic objects without the need for physical contact. When the targeted object enters the high frequency magnetic field generated by the sensor it triggers an output.

With the ability to detect a metallic object these sensors can be used for industrial robotics, shaft rotation, machine tools, conveyors and assembly line part detection applications. These sensors are very suited to dirty, dusty environments.

They can be supplied NO or NC with either NPN or PNP output.

A rugged design with IP67 sealing, it offers reverse polarity, short circuit and overload protection. The sensors have a choice of body styles in Polypropylene, Stainless steel or Copper plated Nickel, they can be provided with a full screw thread finish, short body style and can either be fitted with an M12 connector or wire termination.
