PEPPERL+FUCHS 409491 Inductive Sensor

The Inductive Sensor, also known as proximity switch, non-contact switch, or inductive proximity switch, with type number 409491 from PEPPERL+FUCHS is an electrical inductive sensor for the non-contact detection of metal objects. It has the dimensions 7 x 2 x 2 cm and weighs 0.029 kg. Inductive sensors generate an alternating electromagnetic field, whose damping or frequency change upon the approach of a metallic object is detected to trigger a switching state. Typical applications are found in automation technology, for example, for precise position monitoring of machine parts, for counting objects on conveyor belts, or for end-position determination in robotics.
