Fargo Controls, Inc. is now offering Miniature Inductive Proximity Sensors that are housed in stainless steel and have extended sensing distance. These small inductive sensors are available in 3mm, 4mm & 5mm diameter stainless steel housings. Despite their space saving size, they still have short circuit protection and a LED indicator.
Inductive proximity sensors are used for non-contact detection of metallic objects to control, position and monitor processes in automated machinery and industrial equipment for a variety of industries. The presence of a metal in the sensing area causes the sensor the change its output state.
