Inductive Sensors

Typical inductive sensors

Due to their functional principle, inductive sensors are exclusively suitable for detecting metal objects. But they do this extremely reliably and are also very robust and resistant (e.g. regarding environmental factors such as high pressure or contamination), which makes them interesting for numerous industrial applications. They are mainly used wherever the detection of uniform movements is involved – for example as proximity switches for determining the position of moving machine parts such as saddles or hydraulic cylinders, for measuring rotary speeds on vehicle crankshafts, or as pulse generators for motor ignition.

Inductive sensors are extremely precise due to their high repeatability levels. Their simple design and uncomplicated commissioning ensure minimal downtimes.

Communication via IO-Link 1.1 enables to parameterize these sensors individually and to teach-in SmartFunctions. With these functions, an optimum adaptation to the application requirements is achieved, which was previously only possible with significantly higher costs. Sensor diagnostic data such as switching cycles or sensor tempe-rature can be read out comfortably. This significantly increases the field of applications as well as the sensor reliability.

Whether in robotics, in assembly and handling, in factory automation or mechanical engineering: inductive sensors from SensoPart are reliable, require no maintenance, and offer versatile use thanks to the numerous housings and sizes available.
