Inductive Proximity
Allen-Bradley proximity sensors set the standard for ruggedness, reliability and application flexibility. Choose from one of the industry's widest selections of inductive proximity sensor models, all of which offer you 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. The diverse Allen-Bradley offering serves the full spectrum of customer needs, from light-duty packaging applications to the punishing environments on automotive welding equipment or the harsh washdowns in food processing plants.
