Product Description: Proximity switches (proximity sensors) provide contactless detection of an approaching metal object.
We offer a variety of induction-based proximity switches, which make use of electromagnetic coupling to detect eddy currents generated in a metal target object.
Available types include cylindrical, square, compact, unshielded, DC two-wire, DC three-wire, AC-DC, and connector connection models, as well as varieties for particular environments, such as coolant-resistant, spatter-resistant, and aluminum-powder-resistant models.
- Detection without contact does not abrade or damage the target object.
- Contactless output extends equipment service life.
- Compared to switches that make contact, faster response is possible.
- Unlike photoelectric switches, these products can be used in water and oil environments.
- The color of the target object does not affect switch performance.
- A wide selection of models is available.
