Inductive Proximity Sensors

Inductive proximity sensors are already widely used in industry. Inductive proximity sensors are designed to detect metallic objects entering their detection zone. Because their advanced design includes no moving parts or contacts and full encapsulation, this series functions without wear, providing low maintenance, reliability, and excellent protection against vibration, shock, dust, dirt and humidity. This makes the inductive proximity line ideal for harsh environments. 


 

Magnetic proximity Sensors

The new magnetic proximity sensors feature a revolutionary patented design, making them sturdier and more inexpensive than other electronic sensors. These sensors offer long sensing distances (up to 70 mm) with exceptionally small size, and are capable of sensing magnetic objects, including permanent magnets, through many non-magnetizable materials. Because of their long range and special capabilities, the magnetic proximity sensors can solve specialized applications that no other type of sensor can handle. For instance, they can sense objects through partitioning walls and within pipes, an especially useful feature when working with aggressive media or high temperatures.


Magnetic Cylinder Sensors

SICK's new line of magnetic cylinder sensors offers unparalleled reliability, sensitivity and accuracy for position sensing in pneumatic cylinders. They are fully electronic and extremely rugged, with high sensitivity and exceptional repeat accuracy. SICK magnetic cylinder sensors reliably detect any magnetic ring in the piston through aluminum, brass or stainless steel housing walls. SICK Optic-Electronic features one of the widest range of standard and advanced inductive proximity sensors available, with a broad range of housing shapes and sizes and offering sensing distances of up to 60 mm. Inductive proximity sensors can handle many applications, including position polling and detection, transport monitoring, pulse counting, speed monitoring and direction detection, feed and ejection control, and no load and backlog monitoring.
