magnetic proximity sensor
It is used in a sophisticated way to detect the presence or absence of a magnetic field. Its main function is to trigger a response when it comes into collision with magnetic media. From a technological point of view, such sensors are typically fitted with a reed switch or Hall effect magnetic sensor which is particularly sensitive- it can detect the weakest of magnetic fields. In this respect they accord high reliability and precision to their own operation. Features of the sensor include non-contact sensing, no wear and tear, compact design suitable for integration with many kinds of equipment and other systems. The magnetic proximity sensor is widely used in such industries as automobiles, robotics and manufacturing. It is employed for detecting position, counting or safety purposes.
