Types of proximity switch inductive sensor
Inductive proximity sensors are non-contact sensors used only to detect metal objects. It is based on the laws of induction, which drives a coil with an oscillator once a metallic object approaches it. And which is mainly consists of 4 main components; coil, oscillator, schmitt trigger and output switching circuit
M30 proximity sensor It comes in two versions
- Unshielded: The electromagnetic field generated by the coil is not restricted, allowing a wider and larger sensing distance
- Shielding: The generated electromagnetic field is concentrated in the front, and the sides of the sensor coil are covered
Working principles of M30 proximity sensor
1. Provide alternating current to the coil to generate an electromagnetic detection field
2. When a metal object is close to a magnetic field, eddy currents will accumulate and cause the coil inductance to change.
3. When the coil inductance changes, the circuit that has been continuously monitoring will trigger the output switch of the sensor.
*Note: Inductive sensors will continue to oscillate even when the target is not present. This switch is only triggered when the object exists.
Advantages of inductive metal sensor
1. Non-contact detection
2. Environmental adaptability; resistant to conditions common in industrial fields, such as dust and dirt
3. Powerful and versatile in metal sensing
4. Quite cheap in terms of price
5. No moving parts, ensuring longer service life
