Magnetic proximity switches detect magnetic fields at greater distances of up to 60 mm, even through non-ferromagnetic materials like stainless steel. Depending on the permanent magnets used, different sensing distances can be implemented. The permanent magnet can be installed independent of polarity and with large tolerances, which allows many different installation options, even in cramped spaces. Precise switching is thus guaranteed even when used in dirty or damp environments. This means that applications in cranes or heavy vehicles are also easy to implement.
