Inductive Proximity Sensors

For non-contact detection of metallic targets at ranges generally under 50mm (2 inches).  Inductive proximity sensors emit an alternating electro-magnetic sensing field.  When a metal target enters the sensing field, eddy currents are induced in the target, reducing the signal amplitude and triggering a change of state at the sensor output. 

Advantages of inductive proximity sensors include insensitivity to water, oil, dirt, non-metallic particles, target color, or target surface finish, and the ability to withstand high shock and vibration environments. See accessories for inductive sensors
