Product Overview

A proximity switch is a type of position switch that operates without mechanical direct contact with moving parts. When an object approaches the sensing surface of the switch within the operating distance, the switch can be activated without mechanical contact or applying any pressure, thereby driving DC electrical devices or providing control commands to computer (PLC) systems. A proximity switch is a type of switch sensor (i.e., a contactless switch). It has the characteristics of both limit switches and micro switches, as well as sensing capabilities. It operates reliably, has stable performance, fast frequency response, long service life, strong anti-interference ability, and features such as waterproofing, shock resistance, and corrosion resistance.
