Inductive

Proxistor offers a complete range of inductive proximity switches.

Inductive Proxistors detect the presence of ferrous or non-ferrous metals without making contact and offer metal sensing unaffected by dirt, oil humidity & dust. This makes them particularly suitable for use in both the machine tool and general manufacturing environments where they are present in great volume and variety.

Building a new machine?

We can help, talk to us as early as possible.

Running machines?

We can help reduce machine downtime. Many inductive proximity switches comply with the same IEC standards.

• In practice they can often be interchangeable, especially in an emergency. We can probably supply replacements for your machinery from stock. For example we list twenty one (21) varieties of M12 pnp normally open inductives. We cannot claim all will be in stock when you telephone! but we will get your machinery running with one or another of them.
• We may have a stocking reseller near you. If not, we ship daily with UPS or TNT or Federal Express or Securicor etc. We can get parts to you quickly wherever you are.

Plan ahead to reduce downtime:

You know one switch or another on your machines will fail at some point in the future. You cannot hold replacements for all of them.

To find out if Proxistor offers equivalents to your switches (inductive, capacitive, photoelectric or ultrasonic) email us the part numbers and manufacturer names (to use our web form click here, contacts page click here).

Take a look at our handy battery powered proximity switch testers:

With these you can discover:

• if your proximity switch or just the cable has been damaged?
• if the proximity switch or power supply is faulty?
• what electrical type the switch you want to replace is?.

Inductive proximity switches typical applications:

• Use on conveyor systems for counting and control.
• Detection and counting of small parts
• Camshaft sensing.
• RPM. rotational direction and position sensing.
• Can, tin or keg detection.
• Tool and workpiece detection and positioning.
• Motion control e.g. air or hydraulic cylinders, valve position, processing steps or feed control.

Standard inductives are listed in our Web Catalogue.
