Proximity Sensors
SenSource’s proximity sensors are the most common and affordable solution for no-touch object detection. The most commonly-used proximity sensor is the inductive type, which generates an electromagnetic field to sense metal objects passing close to its face. This is usually the easiest sensing technology to apply in applications where the metal object to be detected is within an inch or two of the sensor face.
Associated Accessories:
Cylindrical Inductive
The versatile cylindrical inductive proximity switch sensors provide a solid state switched output when a metal object is near the sensing surface (1.5 – 15mm). The cylindrical body provides easy through-panel or fixture mounting.
Square Inductive
These square inductive proximity switch-sensors provide a solid state switched output when a metal object is near the sensing surface (1.5 – 15mm). The versatile square body provides easy surface or fixture mounting.
Cylindrical Capacitive
Our series of cylindrical capacitive proximity switch sensors provide a solid state switched output when an object of any mass is near the sensing surface (1.5 – 15mm). The cylindrical body provides easy through-panel or fixture mounting.
Signal Transmission Coupler
The signal coupler is ideal for coupling a sensor or switch signal across an area that is in motion. Since no power is required for the signal coupler it is ideal for use on rotary index tables or a variety of other applications only previously possible using mechanical sliding contacts prone to wear.
