The OsiSense XS 118 series 18mm diameter Inductive Proximity Sensor that is solely for the detection of metal objects. It basically comprises an oscillator whose windings constitute the sensing face. An alternating magnetic field is generated in front of these windings. Composition of an inductive proximity sensor with detection of a metal object. When a metal object is placed within the magnetic field generated by the sensor, the resulting currents induced form an additional load and the oscillations cease. This causes the output driver to operate and, depending on the sensor type, a normally open or normally closed output signal is produced. It enables the detection, without physical contact of metal objects. Telemecanique inductive proximity sensor incorporates an output state LED indicator. The flush mountable sensor using teach mode is fitted with a green LED that indicates power-ON and also assists the user during setting-up (teach mode).
High operating rates
Fast response
Excellent resistance to industrial environments (robust products, fully encapsulated in resin)
No moving parts, therefore service life of sensor not related to number of operating cycles
