induktiokytkimien

Induktiokytkimet, also known as inductive proximity sensors, are non-contact sensors used to detect the presence of metallic objects. They operate based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a metallic object enters the sensing range of the inductor coil, it disrupts the coil's oscillating magnetic field. This disruption is detected by an internal electronic circuit, which then triggers an output signal. Induktiokytkimet are commonly used in automation, manufacturing, and robotics to detect parts, count items, or determine position. They are robust and can withstand harsh environments, including dust, oil, and vibration, making them a reliable choice for industrial applications. Their sensing distance is typically limited and depends on the sensor's size and the target material's conductivity. They are available in various forms, including threaded and unthreaded bodies, and with different output types such as NPN or PNP, and normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) configurations. Regular maintenance is generally not required, contributing to their low operational cost.
