Proximity Sensors

Photoelectric Sensors are designed for presence detection.

Reliant upon LED or laser light sources, Series 14 sensors detect presence, placement/orientation, or size of objects. They are available with 3 methods of operation - thru-beam, retro-reflective, diffuse - and have integrated channel that lets cable lay flush against sensor housing for limited-space installations. Along with transparent rear housing for viewing operation/reception LEDs,...

Proximity Sensors

Non-Contact Switches are triggered by sensors.

Available in both surface mount technology and through-hole styles, non-contact capacitive switches detect changes in capacitance from proximity. Infrared version reduces influence of ambient light via internal compensating circuit, providing less false switching. They can be encased in plastic or glass, and sealed to IP68 for waterproofing. Without need to turn electromechanical contacts, units...
