Inductive Proximity Sensors

For non-contact detection of metallic targets at ranges generally under 50mm (2 inches). Inductive proximity sensors emit an alternating electro-magnetic sensing field. When a metal target enters the sensing field, eddy currents are induced in the target, reducing the signal amplitude and triggering a change of state at the sensor output.

Inductive proximity sensors come in a variety of housing styles:



Advantages of Balluff Inductive Proximity Sensors include:

• Insensitivity to water, oil, dirt, non-metallic particles, target color, or target surface finish.
• Ability to withstand high shock & vibration environments.
