and components for the global automation market. They have a wide range of
electronic sensors like proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors, ultrasonic
sensors, industrial vision systems, rotary encoders, positioning systems,
identification systems, inclination and acceleration systems, logic control
devices and many more automation systems.
Indexel Engineering Pvt. Ltd is an authorized distributor of
Pepperl+Fuchs. Today we are going to talk about their Proximity Sensors.
Proximity sensors help to detect the pressure of nearby objects without any
physical contact. They have over 2000 proximity sensor models that are
certified for hazardous location installation. These sensors by Pepperl+Fuchs
are designed for durable industrial environments. There are three main types
of proximity sensors and we will go through each of them in detail.

3. 1. Inductive sensors
For detecting metallic objects in machines and automation equipment’s
without any physical contact, inductive proximity sensors are the best.
Pepperl+Fuchs, known for its high quality inductive sensors is a pioneer and
market leader for proximity sensors and this meets the requirements of
automation worldwide. Their experience and focus of customer makes them
the most unique company that also offers custom designed solutions.
The features of Induction Sensors are:
· Stainless housings that are smooth and threaded
· It is protected from short-circuit and polarity reversal
· M8 and M12 are the connection styles that are included
· They have models with PVC, PUR and silicon cables
· Their integrated speed monitor goes up to 100 Hz operation
· Gas and dust approved sensors
· Models contain stainless steel sensing face
· Many safety function sensors
· The temperature range can be extended up to -40 degree C to +250 degree C
· Ferrous & non-ferrous detection models
· They have protected class that are high pressure water jet resistant and
submersible

4. · Cylinder sensors that are pressure resistant
2. Capacitive Sensors
Capacitive sensors are very useful in implementations including level, flow
control for detection of liquids, grains and powders. These sensors can be used
to detect nearly all materials, but in specific, it can be used to detect metal
objects.
The features of Capacitive Sensors are:
· These models have dangerous area approvals
· Styles with 5mm thin rectangular and long range 80mm x80mm x 40mm
· Plastic housings or steels that are of cylindrical styles of 12, 18 and 30mm
size
· Sensor outputs of 3-wire DC and NAMUR output types.
3. Magnetic Field Sensors
These sensors are majorly used to study the field around permanent magnets
and other electrical devices. They have rotating sensor tips that calculates the
field of both transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields.
The features of Magnetic Field Sensors are:
· It consists of M12 housing style that are specially for traditional magnetic
detection applications
· For steel cylinders, it offers non-contact and piston detection sensors

5. · Without any requirement of mounting slots or holes in cylinder, it can easily
provide and mount well-grounded piston magnet detection
Like these, they have many more sensors like Pile Driver series, Basic series,
Inclination sensors, X series, Position Measurement series, Subminiature DC
Inductive series, Ring and slot inductive series, etc.
