Baumer 498-1694 Inductive Sensor

The inductive sensor, also known as an inductive proximity switch or metal sensor, with type number 498-1694 from Baumer is an electrical sensor for the non-contact detection of metal objects. It has the dimensions 15 x 15 x 5 cm and weighs 0.08 kg. Inductive sensors are widely used in electrical engineering and sensor technology. They non-contact detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic alternating field and recognizing its change when a metal approaches. Typical applications include position monitoring of machine parts in automation technology, control of material flow in conveyor systems, or presence monitoring of products in the packaging industry.
