LIMIT STYLE / INDUCTIVE PROXIMITY SENSORS

Limit Style sensors or Inductive proximity ‘switches’ are suitable for the detection of metallic elements. The inductive sensor operating principle is based on a high-frequency oscillator that creates an electromagnetic field within the proximity of the sensor.

The presence of a metallic object (actuator) in the operating area causes a decrease in oscillation amplitude. This decrease occurs when the sensor’s electromagnetic energy is transferred to the actuator by the dissipation effect of Foucault Parasitic currents.

The oscillation amplitude decreases in accordance with the distance between the actuator and the sensor. This provides the sensor with analog or digital object positioning information.
