Datasensor Inductive Sensors

The inductive sensors represent a complementary solution to photoelectric sensors in applications based on critical light reflection and transmission. Voltage to the device creates an alternate inductive field through an oscillator coil before its active surface. If a metal object (iron, aluminium, copper, brass, etc) enters this field, it damps the oscillator and reverses the trigger threshold and causes a change in the output stage status. Inductive sensors can be used, for example, for non-contact detection of exclusively metal targets.
