E57 Ferrous Only Proximity Sensors:

These unique Inductive Proximity Sensors have been specially made by Eaton to detect only a specific type of metal. Ferrous Only models will detect only ferrous metals such as steel, iron, nickel or cobalt.

A typical application for Ferrous Only sensors would be in work cell applications where cutting tools, tool pallets and fixtures must be detected for proper work piece manipulation. The sensors detect ferrous objects while ignoring aluminum.

These sensors are available in a standard 18 mm diameter, and are epoxy filled for shock/vibration resistance and heat tolerance.

Features:

• Ferrous Only sensors detect ferrous metals, such as steel or iron, while ignoring non-ferrous metals
• Selection of two-wire and three-wire, AC/DC and DC-only sensor models
• Wide operating temperature range -13 degree to 158 degree Fahrenheit (-25 degree to 70 degree Celsius)
