Inductive sensors are used for the detection of conductive objects such as metals and carbon. Inductive proximity sensors are used for non-contact detection of metallic objects. Their operating principle is based on a coil and oscillator that creates an electromagnetic field in the close surroundings of the sensing surface.
Key Features
Applications
- Sensing distances up to 18 mm
- Cylindrical designs from Ø6.5 mm to M30
- Flush and non-flush variants
- High switching frequencies up to 3 kHz
- Detection of stainless steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals with the same sensing distance
- ATEX certified sensors for potentially explosive areas
- DNV-GL certified sensors for on- and offshore applications
- Digital as well as analog outputs
- Presence detection of a machine component
- Counting metal objects (e.g. in component feed or conveyor technology)
- Presence detection of objects in process
- Ultra precise referencing of the zero position of a moving machine component (e.g. in robotics)br /> Rotary speed measurement on metal gear wheel
