Turn the face on these sensors to sense metallic objects from the front, sides, top, or bottom. They’re a good replacement for limit switches with actuators that often break when hit. Also known as inductive proximity sensors, they detect objects even if they’re covered by water, oil, dirt, or a surface finish. They’re often used in conveyor and bin filling systems, refineries, and mills. Sensing distance is based on the type of material being sensed; the distance listed is for mild steel. LED status indicators on the corners mean you can check your sensor from any angle. All sensors meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards.

You can send PNP or NPN signals from these sensors to programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Use Testers for Proximity and Photoelectric Sensors to determine the signal output of a sensor you’re replacing.

All sensors seal out dust and stand up to some submersion.
