Sensors / Encoders > Inductive Proximity Sensors
Inductive Proximity Sensors
Proximity sensors detect the presence of metallic objects at close range (up to 1.5 inches typically). Ferrous metals allow the greatest distances to the sensor; other metals may reduce detection range. Low-cost, reliable sensors are available in an array of shapes and sizes for a wide range of applications.

Factor 1 Sensors, with a correction factor K=1, provide a constant sensing range without adjustment on all ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Weld Slag Resistant harsh duty sensors have a PTFE material coating that prevents weld slag build-up and allows weld spatter to be wiped off easily.
