Vacuum-encapsulated electronics and metal housings protect against shock, vibration, dust, dirt and moisture, making inductive sensors ideal for highly demanding conditions. An inductive sensor generates a magnetic field that is attenuated by a metal target. As a sensor nears its target, a sensing circuit detects the degree of attenuation and switches the output accordingly. Patented Condist® oscillator circuitry allows best-in-class operating distances, while all-metal construction – including the sensing face – is possible with revolutionary Condet® technology. Designers everywhere specify Contrinex inductive sensors as industrial limit switches and position switches, as pulse-counting devices, or for distance and speed measurement.<p> <H3>Inductive Classics</H3> <p>Accurate, rugged and highly reliable, Contrinex CLASSICS (600 series) inductive sensors are sized from ø3 to M30, with cuboid variants up to 80 mm x 100 mm, and offer market-leading sensing distances between 0.6 mm and 65 mm. <p> <H3>Inductive Extra Distance</H3> <p>With best-in-class sensing distances up to 40mm and sizes from M5 to M30, Contrinex EXTRA DISTANCE (500 series) inductive sensors are accurate, rugged and highly reliable. <p> <H3>Inductive Full Inox</H3> <p>Sized from M8 to M30, with exceptionally robust and chemically resistant stainless-steel housings, Contrinex FULL INOX (700 series) inductive sensors are rated to IP68 and IP69K, with sensing distances up to 40 mm. <p> <H3>Inductive BASIC</H3> <p>Contrinex BASIC inductive sensors have a worldwide and well-deserved reputation for uncompromising accuracy and exceptional reliability. With best-in-class sensing distances between 1.5 mm and 40 mm, the Contrinex BASIC range offers fit-and-forget operation, delivering world-class performance and a highly attractive total cost of ownership. Available in sizes from M8 to M30 and C44, with optional Ø 6.5 plain and 8 mm square-section models, BASIC range inductive sensors are ideal for general position-sensing and presence-sensing applications in almost any industry. Embeddable or non-embeddable variants are available, with either hard-wired, hermetically sealed connecting cables or integral metal connectors. BASIC range devices, whether from the conventional Classics, or the advanced Extra Distance or Full Inox technology families, all utilize Contrinex application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that ensure highly repeatable results at operating temperatures between -25°C and +70°C. Classics and Full Inox sensors are IO-Link enabled. <p> <H3>Inductive MINIATURE</H3> <p>Size is often a critical constraint when selecting sensors for position- or presence-sensing. The Contrinex MINIATURE range, which includes the smallest self-contained inductive sensors on the market, meets this constraint without compromising on functionality. Sensors from this range use either conventional Classics, or advanced Extra Distance or Full Inox technology. Classics and Full Inox MINIATURE sensors are IO-Link enabled in PNP NO versions. Available in plain and threaded sizes from Ø 3 to M5 and as a 5 mm square-section type, Contrinex MINIATURE inductive sensors are ideal for applications where space is limited, including tool-selection, robotic position-sensing and control of micro-mechanisms. <p> <H3>Inductive EXTREME</H3> <p>Only the toughest sensors survive the most extreme environments, and Contrinex EXTREME inductive sensors from the Full Inox family are ideally equipped for the job. Thanks to one-piece stainless-steel (V2A/AISI 303) construction and a hermetically sealed cable entry, Extreme sensors are corrosion-resistant, impervious to oil, and pressure-resistant to 80 bar. Rugged, reliable and highly accurate, the EXTREME range is at home in the most challenging circumstances Inductive EXTRA PRESSURE up to 100 bar Dependable, accurate presence- and position-sensing at pressures up to 100 bar requires world-class performance and build quality. Contrinex EXTRA PRESSURE inductive sensors deliver exactly that, operating continuously in permanently pressurized conditions and at water depths up to 1,000 meters. The combination of a stainless-steel housing and a permanently bonded ceramic or sapphire-glass sensing face guarantees robustness and exceptional reliability in miniature packages sized from ø3 to M8. Inductive HIGH PRESSURE up to 1000 bar peak Contrinex HIGH PRESSURE inductive sensors are suitable for continuous duty at pressures up to 500 bar (1,000 bar peak pressure), ensuring reliable, accurate sensing in the most demanding pneumatic and hydraulic applications. Available with classic metal housing or one-piece, stainless-steel construction, high-pressure sensors detect the smallest parts and are ideal for piston-control applications where space is at a premium. <p> <H3>Inductive EXTRA TEMPERATURE up to 120°C</H3> <p>Contrinex EXTRA TEMPERATURE inductive sensors offer the ideal solution for position- and presence-sensing applications at temperatures up to 120°C. Industrial processes often generate heat, resulting in temperatures that would damage a standard sensor, but the stainless-steel construction and robust electronics of Contrinex EXTRA TEMPERATURE inductive sensors ensure reliable, accurate operation and minimal downtime in the most demanding environments. <p> <H3>Inductive 2-WIRE</H3> <p>The 2-WIRE range of DC, AC/DC and NAMUR sensors is constructed on the Classics technology platform and includes sizes from Ø 3 to M30, plus a 5 x 5 mm square-section type. Devices are available for embeddable or non-embeddable mounting and connection is by means of cable or connector. With a sensing range up to 15 mm, Contrinex 2-WIRE sensors ensure optimal equipment utilization. <p> <H2>Photoelectric Sensors</H2> <p>A reflex, or reflective, photoelectric sensor contains a transmitter and a receiver in a single housing, and emits a pulsed, focused light beam through a polarization filter toward a distant reflector. Reflected light returns to the sensor, passing through a second filter before arriving at the receiver. When a target object interrupts the light beam, the receiver detects the reduced light intensity and triggers the sensor.<p> <H3>Photoelectric Cylindrical Subminiature</H3> <p>The Cylindrical Subminiature range packs exceptional position- and presence-sensing performance into the smallest self-contained photoelectric sensors on the market. Designers have the choice of through-beam or diffuse sensors in ø4 and M5 cylindrical metal housings that offer multiple mounting methods and beam orientation.

Target materials may be colored, transparent, polished or matt; detection is practically independent of the target’s direction of travel. Diffuse-mode and reflex sensors emit bursts of high-frequency sound waves toward a target, measuring the time elapsed until an echo is received. They contain a transmitter and a receiver in a single housing. Ultrasonic sensors are compensated for temperature variation, but are unsuitable for use with very hot targets.
