Inductive Proximity Capacitive Proximity

Inductive Proximity Sensors

In the ever expanding world of automation, control system technology is becoming more complex. Xensor Inductive Proximity Sensors offer state-of-the-art high switching accuracy and uncompromised reliability.

Watertight, dust-proof, impervious to oil, yet sensitive to all metals they operate on the Eddy Current principle. The sensing head emits an alternating radio frequency field generated by a solid state oscillator.

As the target approaches eddy currents draw greater power from the oscillator, at a specified switching distance abruptly nullifying the oscillation triggering the NC or NO switch. Available for flush or non-flush mounting with shielded or un-shielded cases and a variety of mounting thread sizes.

Capacitive Proximity

Sentech Capacitive Sensors Go/no-go switching, highly accurate, non-contact, proximity actuated devices can detect both metal and non-metallic objects in a variety of applications.

The sensitivity of the sensor is affected by the dielectric constant of the target material being detected. Higher dielectric constants, like those measured during liquid level sensing or product filling operations, make them ideal for these applications.

They can be configured with a potentiometer giving you the ability to fine tune the sensor with your application and with various shielding and EMC resistance to give you greater flexibility when installing the unit.
