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.
