Compact inductive sensor looks a long
way
New from Contrinex is a range of M8 inductive analogue sensors with an unusually large sensing range from 0 to 4mm.
New from Contrinex is a range of M8 inductive analogue sensors with an unusually large sensing range from 0 to 4mm This is achieved while maintaining excellent temperature stability between -25 and +70C and outstanding repeat accuracy

Small claims for photoelectric proximity switch
New from Contrinex is possibly the world's smallest self-contained, photoelectric proximity switch.
The sensing range is twice that of conventional sensors.
To gain similar results, an M18 size sensor would normally have to be used.
Intermediate digitisation is not used with these new sensors and so the resolution is virtually unlimited allowing extremely high feedback accuracy to be achieved.
The use of this new analogue sensor technology makes these new sensors highly suitable for a wide range of applications.
For example they are ideal for the fine adjustment of end position control, multiple switch positions from a single device, precision monitoring of shaft concentricity and vibration detection.
The switches are available with output voltage ranges of 0 to 5 or 0 to 10V.
Because of the non-linearised transfer function, the Contrinex devices are inexpensive but nevertheless accurate and efficient.
Contrinex inductive analogue sensors are also available in sizes M12, M18 and M30 with extended sensing ranges.
