Description

A proximity sensor is a device that can detect or sense the approach or presence of nearby objects and for this it does not need physical contact. There are different kinds of proximity sensors.

This  Inductive  Proximity Sensor  is a component widely used in the automatic control industry for detecting, controlling, and non-contact switching. When the proximity switch is close to some target object, it will send out the control signal.

When the metal approaches the near-proximity switch sensing area, and Eady Current is induced in the metal. Which in turn disturbs the magnetic field produced by the Inductive Proximity Sensor. This change is sensed by the sensor.

These inductive proximity switches can be non-contact, have no pressure, no spark quickly issued the electrical command. Accurately reflect the position and stroke movement mechanism. Positioning accuracy, operating frequency, service life. Easy to install and suitable for harsh environments.

Proximity sensor can detect a variety of metals, miniature size, long life, low price, shielded type installation, anti-interference ability, 1mm detection distance, used for precise positioning of moulds, precision machine tools, and robots.
