Inductive proximity switch

Purpose:

Acts as a feedback sensor, signalling that a piece of equipment has completed a movement command.
Used in machine tools, automated lines and equipment with automation components.

Distinctive features:

The inductive proximity switch (or position sensor, hereafter the sensor) is actuated by an external metal element, such as a steel plate, without mechanical contact between the sensor and the object.
The load is switched by a semiconductor device.
When an object enters the sensor's sensing zone it triggers the sensor, and the sensor's switching element then carries the load current (up to 500 mA).
Wide supply voltage range.
The sensor can drive a controller input, an electronic circuit, or a relay or contactor coil directly.
The sensor design provides galvanic isolation between the housing and the circuit components and withstands up to 2000 V.
The sensor's on state is indicated by an LED.
For operation in harsh conditions the sensor is built into a brass housing and sealed with compound.
The sensor complies with ДСТУ ГОСТ 26430.
Fits a 14.5 mm hole and is secured with nuts.
The sensing distance may be shorter with targets made of other metals. The following correction factors (relative to tool steel) can be used for preliminary calculations:
-stainless steel 0.8
-nichrome 0.9
-brass, aluminium 0.5
-copper 0.48
