    About Proximity Sensors
    industrial info icon

    Compare sensing types, mounting styles, wiring options, and input and output requirements to choose the right proximity sensor for your application.

    DC Metallic-Object Proximity Sensors for Long Distances

    Sense objects from farther away than with other proximity sensors that have the same diameter. Also known as inductive proximity sensors, they remotely sense metallic objects even if they’re obscured by water, oil, dirt, or a surface finish. Sensing distance is based on the type of material being sensed. The distance listed is for mild steel. They’re often used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and produce PNP signal output. Some automatically sense whether PNP or NPN signal output is needed.
    Also available: If you don’t see the sensor you need, please select 1429T999 and specify manufacturer and manufacturer part number.
    Flush Mount—Flush sensors, also known as embeddable or shielded sensors, can be mounted so that the sensor face is level with the surface of any material, including metal. They’re more accurate than projecting sensors at close range and can be mounted close together without causing interference.
    Enclosure Rating—All sensors are rated IP69K for protection from high-temperature, high-pressure washdowns. Some are also rated NEMA 6P, 13, and IP67 for protection from corrosion, oil/coolant spraying, and temporary submersion.
