Sensing Solutions

These unique Inductive Proximity Sensors have been specially made by Eaton's electrical business to detect only a specific type of metal. Ferrous Only models will detect only ferrous metals such as steel, iron, nickel or cobalt.

A typical application for Ferrous Only sensors would be in workcell applications where cutting tools, tool pallets and fixtures must be detected for proper workpiece manipulation. The sensors detect ferrous objects while ignoring aluminum. These sensors are available in a standard 18 mm diameter, and are epoxy filled for shock/vibration resistance and heat tolerance.
