What types of proximity sensors are available in Allen-Bradley range?
Allen-Bradley offers inductive, capacitive, magnetic, and ultrasonic proximity sensors, each designed for different materials and sensing requirements.
How do I select the right Allen-Bradley proximity sensor?
Selection depends on sensing distance, target material (metal or non-metal), mounting size (M12, M18, etc.), output type (PNP/NPN), and environmental conditions.
What is the sensing distance of Allen-Bradley proximity sensors?
Sensing distance varies by model, typically ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters for inductive sensors, and higher for other types like capacitive or ultrasonic.
What is the difference between shielded and unshielded proximity sensors?
Shielded sensors can be flush-mounted in metal surfaces with shorter sensing distance, while unshielded sensors offer longer sensing range but require clearance around the sensing face.
