What is a Proximity Sensor?

A proximity sensor is a non-contact detection device that senses the presence or absence of an object within a defined range — without physically touching the target. It outputs an NPN or PNP electrical signal used to trigger PLCs, counters, relays, and other control devices.

Types of Proximity Sensors Available

  • Inductive Proximity Sensor — Detects metallic objects using electromagnetic fields. Cylindrical housings: M8, M12, M18, M30. Sensing range: 2 mm to 40 mm. Used in CNC machines, conveyor lines, and press machines.
  • Capacitive Proximity Sensor — Detects metallic and non-metallic materials (plastic, liquid, wood, grain). Ideal for level detection in hoppers and tanks.
  • Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor — Long-range distance measurement using sound waves. Works on liquids, powders, and glass.
  • Magnetic Proximity Sensor (Reed Switch) — Detects magnetic fields. Used with pneumatic cylinders for position detection.

FAQs — Proximity Sensors Pakistan

Q: NPN vs PNP — which output should I choose?
NPN (sinking) sensors are common with Siemens and Mitsubishi PLCs. PNP (sourcing) sensors work with most Asian PLCs including Delta and Fatek. Always match to your PLC input module type.

Q: What IP rating do these sensors have?
Most cylindrical inductive sensors are IP67 rated — dust-tight and waterproof for industrial wash-down environments.
