Millions of inductive proximity sensors are currently in use in virtually all industries. They detect metal objects without contact, and are characterized by a long service life and extreme ruggedness. SICK can provide the right solution . Balluff inductive proximity sensors emit an alternating electro-magnetic sensing field for non-contact object detection of metallic targets including Factor pressure-rated inductive, inductive distance sensors, anaductive sensors , Steel Face, BIP inductive positioning system. This site is a resource for those in manufacturing who select sensors.

For many engineers, inductive position sensor terminology and techniques can be confusing. Because of their functional principle, inductive sensors are only suitable for detecting metal objects. But they do this extremely reliably and are also very robust and resistant (e.g. regarding environmental factors), which makes them interesting for numerous industrial applications.

Inductive sensors : cubic housings. Durable and affordable. Talk to a Customer Service Engineer today! As compared to mechanical switches they offer almost ideal conditions: non-contact operation free from any wear and tear, high switching frequencies and accuracy. In addition , they are insensitive to vibration, dust and moisture.

This technology is used in applications where the metal object to be detected is within an inch or two of the sensor face. Our sensors can be used in light-duty packaging applications and the punishing environments on. Vacuum-encapsulated electronics and metal housings protect against shock, vibration, dust, dirt and moisture, making inductive sensors ideal for highly demanding . Eaton offers a wide range of robust inductive sensors for industrial applications.

In automation technology, not just optical applications, but many other applications are predestined for inductive sensors. An array of different designs, short reaction times and large operating ranges make our inductive sensors the right solution for practically all areas of application in industrial automation.
