Wenglor Proximity Sensor – Inductive Switch
Wenglor proximity sensor technology forms a distinct industrial sensing entity defined by contactless metal detection using consistent electromagnetic principles. This category covers standard sensing ranges, cylindrical or rectangular housings, and switching outputs aligned with common automation interfaces used across factories in India. The Wenglor designation supports clear semantic grounding for engineers comparing Wenglor Proximity Sensors with similar inductive detection devices in industrial environments.
The Wenglor Proximity Sensor, manufactured by Wenglor, operates on inductive sensing principles, uses stable oscillator-based detection circuits, and follows IEC-aligned classification attributes relevant to proximity switching components. These sensors are available in shielded or unshielded structures, support PNP or NPN outputs, and integrate threaded or smooth-body housings for panel or machine-mount applications. Each Wenglor Inductive Proximity Sensor category instance aligns with a non-contact electromagnetic technology type, metallic-target structure type, inductive-switch classification attributes, and standardized electrical interface types.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Most Common Proximity Sensor?
The most prevalent proximity sensor is the infrared (IR) type. It detects objects using IR light, offering reliable and accurate results. Ultrasonic sensors and capacitive field effect transistors (C-FETs) are also widely used. These sensors excel in various applications, ensuring versatility and efficiency.
What is the Maximum Range of Proximity Sensor?
The maximum range of proximity sensors varies by type and application. Infrared sensors typically detect objects up to 25 meters away. Ultrasonic sensors can sense up to 10 meters. Capacitive and inductive sensors have shorter ranges, usually under 1 meter. Each sensor type offers distinct range capabilities for diverse uses.
What is the Output of Inductive Sensor?
Inductive sensors output an analog current, typically ranging from 4 mA to 20 mA. They measure the distance to a metallic object and convert this data into an analog current value.
This output reflects the proximity of the object, providing precise distance measurements. Their analog nature ensures continuous, real-time monitoring of metallic objects.
What is the Principle of Inductive Sensor?
Inductive sensors operate on electromagnetic induction principles. They generate a magnetic field through an inductor when electric current flows. When a metallic object enters this field, it alters the field’s properties.
The sensor detects these changes, enabling object detection and measurement. This process allows for precise and contactless sensing of metallic objects.
