 Proximity switches- position sensors
Inductive dirty or wet environments
components
Used for metallic objects
“sensing” range of proximity sensors is very small, typically
0.1mm to 12mm
One main disadvantage of these types of position sensors is
that they are “Omni-directional”

For metals
Capacitive Proximity Sensors and Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors
 Inductive proximity sensors
1. oscillator
2. a ferrite core with coils, ,
3. Schmitt trigger-detection circuit
4. output amplifier

Tubular form
3 to 40 mm
Capacitive proximity sensors
two conduction plates (at different potentials)
operate like an open capacitor
Air insulator- little capacitance

inductive sensors oscillate until the target is

present and
capacitive sensors oscillate when the target is
present.
Application of capacitive proximity sensors
• Is slower in response than inductive
• detect both metallic and non-metallic
• powder, granulate, liquid, and solid form
• tank liquid level detection
• hopper powder level recognition
• 30-60 mm range
 Photoelectric proximity sensors
• Through beam (most reliable, least popular)
• Retro reflective
• Diffusive
