Inductive proximity sensor allowing non-contact detection of objects, are used when the target is metal. These are tehe most widely used swtiches in industry including manufacturing, robotics, semiconductior, etc.
Principle
A high-frequency magnetic field is generated by coil L in the oscillation circuit. When a target approaches the magnetic field, an induction current (eddy current) flows in the target due to electromagnetic induction. As the target approaches the sensor, the induction current flow increases, which causes the load on the oscillation circuit to increase. Then, oscillation attenuates or stops. The sensor detects this change in the oscillation status with the amplitude detecting circuit, and outputs a detection signal.
Features
1.Solid state reliability-no moving parts means longer life, no contact bounce.
2.Easy to mount on a varieth of YB actuators.
3.Able to mount several switches on one actuator.
4.LED for ease of positioning and troubleshooting.
5.Reverse polarity and over voltage protection
6.Available with pigtail leads or quick connect
Application
The IPS series proximity sensors are widely used in many fields, such as machine, metallurgy, chemical industry, light textile, printing industry, etc
