Inductive Proximity Sensors replace limit switches, microswitches, and other mechanical switches. They detect metal or aluminum targets without contact.

The P|Prox proximity sensor, with excellent repeatability, ensures process stability and improves product quality by measuring absolute distance values between the active sensing face and a metallic target …

In this guide, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about inductive proximity switches—from how they work to choosing the perfect one for your project.

An inductive proximity sensor is a non-contact electronic proximity sensor. It is used for positioning and detection of metal objects. The sensing range of an inductive switch is dependent on the type of …

Inductive slot sensors consist of two opposing coil systems designed to detect targets positioned between their slot walls. These sensors are particularly suited for pointer monitoring in flowmeters, …

Apr 22, 2025 · Download this expert guide and Excel tool to help choose the right inductive proximity sensor for industrial automation.

Switching inductive sensors for the contactless detection of metal objects in factory automation.

Feb 23, 2024 · At the heart of an Inductive Proximity Sensor (“prox sensor” for short) is an electronic oscillator consisting of an inductive coil made of numerous turns of very fine copper wire, a capacitor …

Since non-metallic substances such as dirt and liquid do not interfere with detection, an inductive proximity sensor operates in wet or dirty conditions. As a result, an inductive proximity sensor does …

These switches use DC input voltage and produce PNP or NPN signal output. They're often used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Sense objects from farther away than with other DC …
