Rectangular inductive proximity sensors

Industry's no. 1* in stable sensing. This sensor has the longest stable sensing range among comparable rectangular inductive proximity sensors in the industry.
The sensor is easy to install. Precise adjustment and control of sensing sensitivity greatly reduces individual sensor differences and variations.

Now it is much easier to adjust sensor positions when using multiple sensors or when sensors have been replaced. The product, e.g. the coil and core has been completely redesigned to provide excellent temperature characteristics. Stable sensing can be obtained regardless of the time of day or season.

Characteristics:

Built-in amplifier
Mutual interference prevention
Oil and water resistant
Easy to see indicators
