Industrial sensors

Sensors convert physical quantities such as position and pressure into electrical signals for a PLC. Proximity sensors detect an object or piston position without contact; pressure sensors monitor air, water or duct pressure.

  • Proximity sensors for cylinders and automated machines
  • Pressure sensors for pneumatic and HVAC systems
  • Outputs: PNP/NPN, 4-20 mA, 0-10 V
  • Select by sensing range, supply voltage, mounting and IP rating

Brands listed here: Festo, Honeywell. CAD provides datasheets, CO/CQ, model advice and technical support.

What is the difference between PNP and NPN?

They are two output types; pick the one that matches the PLC or controller input.

What can a proximity sensor detect?

Inductive types detect metal, capacitive ones also detect non-metals; magnetic sensors read magnet pistons.
