Proximity Sensors

Proximity sensors are sensors that are used to detect the presence of an object without physical contact. These sensors typically use electromagnetic fields, light, or sound waves to detect the presence of an object within a certain range. Proximity sensors are available in a variety of types, including inductive proximity sensors, capacitive proximity sensors, and optical proximity sensors. Inductive proximity sensors use electromagnetic fields to detect the presence of metallic objects, while capacitive proximity sensors use electrostatic fields to detect the presence of non-metallic objects. Optical proximity sensors use light or sound waves to detect the presence of objects. Proximity sensors are commonly used in a wide range of applications, including industrial automation, machine safety, and consumer electronics. These sensors are available in a variety of sizes, detection ranges, and output types to suit different applications. Proximity sensors are an essential component of many electronic systems, providing accurate and reliable detection of the presence of an object.
