Sensors
commonly used
in automation

Limit switches

Limit switch (LS1) in motor circuit

Two types
If the force is removed,
the lever restores its
initial position by a
return spring inside the
limit switch

An external force is
necessary to restore
the lever to its initial
position

No-touch (on/off) sensors

Inductive proximity sensors

Shielded / Unshielded proximity sensors
