Inductive
proximity sensors
An inductive proximity
sensor comprises an LC oscillating circuit, a signal evaluator, and a
switching amplifier.
The coil of this
oscillating circuit generates a high-frequency electromagnetic alternating
field. This field is emitted at the sensing face of the sensor. If a metallic
object (switching trigger) nears the sensing face, eddy currents are generated.
The resultant losses draw energy from the oscillating circuit and reduce
the oscillations. The signal evaluator behind the LC oscillating circuit
converts this information into a clear signal.
High switching
frequencies and high continuous currents characterize many SICK inductive
sensors. They are available as DC 3/4-wire conductors, DC 2-wire conductors,
AC/DC 2-wire conductors, and NAMUR sensors in accordance with EN 50 227.
