Proximity Sensors

Proximity sensors are extremely vital in industrial automation. They're designed to work on the principle of detecting objects without them making physical contact with the sensor. They use signals and ranges of different kinds of waves to effectively communicate that an object exists within a predefined space, and as a result, a sensor is fully capable of nearly non-contact detecting a range of different kinds of objects. Inductive proximity sensors work best with detecting metallic objects. Inductive sensors are capable of working through a number of non-metallic materials, too, but metal is a domain in which they operate well. A magnetic proximity sensor detects the presence of magnetic objects or fields using permanent magnets or electromagnetic principles.

Capacitive sensors detect the presence of any object with a dielectric constant different from the surrounding air by measuring changes in capacitance. Versatile capacitive proximity sensors detect all sorts of objects, not just metallic ones. Several industries find them valuable. The obvious is packaging. It's hard to package liquid in a way that doesn't involve some kind of capacitive sensing. Agriculture, where you want to know what's going on with your corn from a distance, might use a capacitive sensor to "see" through the stalk.

Eaton E51KH3 Inductive Proximity Proximity Sensor
Eaton E51KH3 Inductive Proximity Proximity Sensor
$109.47 $120.46
Eaton E51KH3 - The Glass Fiber Optic Cables enable light transmission through a bundle of fine glass fibers, offering flexibility to curve through equipment while minimizing signal loss. Two cable types are available: Duplex fibers for diffuse reflective sensing, where one cable is required for sensing, and single fibers for thru-beam sensing, necessitating two separate cables for source and detector light. These cables are designed for remote sensing in space-restricted or tight viewing angle areas and can withstand high temperatures up to 480°F. They come in various styles and lengths, with options for PVC or stainless steel jackets, catering to different application needs. Larger fiber bundles offer increased excess gain for longer sensing ranges, while smaller sizes are ideal for detecting extremely small targets. The Glass Fiber Optic Cables provide a versatile solution for diverse sensing requirements. -
