Proximity sensors

Overview

Medray procures proximity sensors for maintenance, replacement and project requirements. Provide the model or reference, quantity and operating conditions so the required configuration can be matched and sourced across available suppliers. An inductive proximity sensor detects a metallic target through changes in the electromagnetic field at its active face. Usable detection distance depends on the sensor design, target material, size and installation conditions. Select the housing and mounting style, operating distance, supply, output type and electrical connection. Flush and non-flush mounting differ, and special pressure-resistant or hazardous-area versions require their own documented selection; ordinary proximity switches are not automatically safety devices. Technical details to confirm: Target material and size; Operating distance; Flush/non-flush mounting; Supply and output type; Connector, housing and environment.
