Information about the product

An inductive proximity sensor is solely for the detection of metal objects It basically comprises an oscillator whose windings constitute the sensing face An alternating magnetic field is generated in front of these windings. When a metal object is placed within the magnetic field generated by the sensor, the resulting currents induced form an additional load and the oscillations cease This causes the output driver to operate and, depending on the sensor type, a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) output signal is produced.

• Inductive proximity sensors enable the detection, without physical contact, of metal objects
• Their range of applications is very extensive and includes:
• monitoring the position of machine parts (cams, end stops, etc ),
• counting the presence of metal objects, etc
