Siemens 3RG4013-3AF33 Inductive Proximity Switch

The Inductive Proximity Switch, also known as inductive sensor, contactless switch or proximity switch, with type number 3RG4013-3AF33 from Siemens is an electrical sensor from the category of inductive sensors for contactless detection of metallic objects. It has dimensions of 5 x 5 x 5 cm and weighs 0.05 kg. Inductive proximity switches convert the presence of a metallic object into an electrical signal without making physical contact, thus serving for precise position monitoring, end position detection, and part counting. Typical applications are found in mechanical engineering for process automation and in conveyor technology for controlling and monitoring material flows.
