Inductive Proximity Sensor 1

An inductive proximity sensor uses a high-frequency magnetic field to detect metal targets without physical contact. It works by generating a magnetic field from a coil; when a metal target gets near, eddy currents are induced in the target, altering the sensor's oscillation. This change is detected and a signal output. There are two main types - one detects changes in oscillation amplitude from various metals, while the other detects changes in oscillation frequency specifically for aluminum vs ferrous metals. Inductive proximity sensors have applications in detecting parts, counting objects, and positioning systems.

WHAT IS INDUCTIVE PROXIMITY
SENSOR?

A inductive proximity sensor can


detect metal targets approaching
the sensor, without physical
contact with the target.
INDUCTIVE PROXIMITY SENSOR
 A high-frequency magnetic field is generated by
coil L in the oscillation circuit. When a target
approaches the magnetic field, an induction
current (eddy current) flows in the target due
to electromagnetic induction. As the target
approaches the sensor, the induction current
flow increases, which causes the load on the
oscillation circuit to increase. Then, oscillation
attenuates or stops. The sensor detects this
change in the oscillation status with the
amplitude detecting circuit,and outputs a
detection signal.

NONFERROUS-METAL TYPE
 The nonferrous-metal type incorporates an
oscillation circuit in which energy loss caused by
the induction current flowing in the target affects
the change of the oscillation frequency. When a
nonferrous-metal target such as aluminum or
copper approaches the sensor, the oscillation
frequency increases. On the other hand, when a
ferrous-metal target such as iron approaches the
sensor, the oscillation frequency decreases. When
the oscillation frequency becomes higher than
the reference frequency, the sensor outputs a
detection signal.
