1 proximity switch What it is A non contact sensor that detects the presence or absence of nearby targets and outputs a signal to control equipment. Key benefits Non contact sensing reduces wear and maintenance Fast and repeatable triggering supports reliable automation Easy integration with standard control systems and PLC inputs Compact form factor fits in tight spaces Durable construction suitable for industrial environments Compatibility and interfaces Works with common industrial control interfaces and is available in various output configurations (normally open or normally closed, NPN or PNP) depending on model Designed to operate with standard DC power supplies within the model range Wiring and mounting follow typical industry practices for sensors Size and materials Compact enclosure designed for space constrained installations Housing material and finish vary by model to suit the application; refer to the specific product datasheet for material details Performance Reliable sensing with repeatable outputs Stable operation across typical industrial conditions; exact performance varies by model and environment Use scenarios Detect items on a conveyor line to trigger sorting, counting, or packing steps Sense door or gate position in access control, machine guarding, or automation systems Monitor end of travel or limit position for moving components in packaging or manufacturing equipment Installation and maintenance notes Choose sensing range and mounting orientation to suit the target Select the appropriate output configuration for the control system Verify power supply compatibility and follow proper wiring practices Inspect mounting and connections regularly as part of routine maintenance
