Sensors redefine proximity
The 520 Series of M8 and M12 inductive proximity sensors boast four times the normal operating distance of conventional sensors of their size.
The 520 Series of M8 and M12 inductive proximity sensors boast four times the normal operating distance of conventional sensors of their size There has always been a strong demand for small and reliable proximity switches with very long operating distances and now, thanks to Condist technology developed and patented by Contrinex, inductive proximity switches with quadruple the standard operating distance are available

Small claims for photoelectric proximity switch
New from Contrinex is possibly the world's smallest self-contained, photoelectric proximity switch.
Most importantly, the use of Condist technology ensures that the sensing distance remains stable across the full operating range.
The increased operating distance means that systems can be set up with increased clearance between the detector and the sensed object thus greatly reducing the risk of accidental collision damage.
In addition, the sensors are quasi-embeddable and contain all important protection functions, such as short-circuit, EMC and polarity-reversal protection.
These switches have an operating temperature of -25 to +70C and are manufactured according to the strictest quality standards and provide a highly capable and cost effective detecting system.
The 520 Series is particularly suitable for targets that are normally difficult to detect, such as nonferrous metals, small or narrow objects, wires and similar objects.
