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.

Usage Method
Shielded Type

The shielded type concentrates the magnetic flux at the front of the sensor, with the range of the inductive magnetic field directed straight ahead of the proximity switch.

The shielded type concentrates the magnetic flux at the front of the sensor, with the range of the inductive magnetic field directed straight ahead of the proximity switch.
Unshielded Type

Non-shielded coil types can increase the detection distance, but because there is no object protection, they are easily affected by surrounding metals.
Please pay attention during installation.

Please pay attention during installation.
Single Shielded Type

To prevent signal interference, the distance from the sensor surface to the detected metal object should be ≥ 3Sn (Sn: sensor sensing distance), and the distance between two adjacent proximity sensors should be ≥ D (D: sensor diameter).

To prevent signal interference, the distance from the sensor surface to the detected metal object should be ≥ 3Sn (Sn: sensor sensing distance), and the distance between two adjacent proximity sensors should be ≥ D (D: sensor diameter).
Single Non-Shielded Type

There is no protection around the sensing coil. The sensing surface must maintain a distance of Y from the mounting surface (M5 to M8, Y=6 mm; M12, Y=9 mm).
The distance between the sensing surface and the detected metal object should be ≥ 3Sn, and the distance between two adjacent proximity sensors should be ≥ 2D (D is the sensor diameter).
