Heidelberg 91.165.1521/A Inductive Sensor

The inductive sensor, also known as a proximity switch or inductive proximity sensor, with type number 91.165.1521/A from Heidelberg, is an electrical component for the non-contact detection of metal objects. It has dimensions of 20 x 15 x 10 cm and weighs 0.15 kg. Inductive sensors are used for the non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial applications by generating a high-frequency electromagnetic field and detecting its change due to metallic objects. They are frequently used for position monitoring, end-position detection, and object counting. Typical applications can be found in mechanical engineering, automation technology, and especially in printing and packaging machines for precise process control.
