Proximity sensors

Proximity sensors are devices that detect the presence of objects without physical contact, using various detection technologies. These sensors are applied in industrial automation, robotics, position controls, and safety systems. Proximity sensors often adhere to industry standards such as IEC 60947-5-2, which defines requirements for inductive sensors, or ISO 14982, which relates to electromagnetic compatibility of sensors. Additionally, it is important to comply with EN 60947-5-6, which addresses electrostatic discharge in proximity sensors. These standards ensure accuracy, reliability, and safety in the operation of these devices. Well-known manufacturers like Festo, Misumi and Camozzi, as well as other leading manufacturers, offer their 3D CAD models on 3Dfindit, including proximity sensors.
