New rectangular 8 mm by 16 mm inductive proximity sensors have been added to AutomationDirect’s sensor line-up in flush and non-flush mounting options, NO or NC output, and NPN or PNP logic.

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...

The new W10 photoelectric proximity sensor from Sick has four variants, which differ in their operating distances and mounting options. The W10 features a touchscreen interface and three ...

What's behind the target can make a tremendous difference in how well reflective sensors do their job. Consider a photoelectric sensor operating in simple diffused mode (i.e., as a proximity sensor).
