proximity switch for contactless switching tasks in heavy industry for ambient temperatures from -10 °C up to +65 °C
Proxi Captor 20xx.xx / 21xx.xx
The proxi-captor Series comprises rugged, inductive proximity switches designed for robust performance in demanding industrial environments. Specifically engineered for heavy industrial applications, these switches are fully resin encapsulated and housed in durable materials.
The proxi-captor Series is designed for contactless switching tasks in heavy industry, offering easy installation with a center fixing bolt, adjustable switching range, and short-circuit protection. Available in different electrical versions for AC or DC applications, including options with thyristor, antivalent transistor, or other outputs upon request, these switches provide practical solutions for marine applications that demand durability and precision.
The units feature a simple nylon Allen bolt mounting mechanism, providing protection against serious mechanical damage in case of collisions. This series of inductice proximity switches includes following types: 2045.xx / 2090.xx / 2040.xx / 2080.xx / 2100.xx
Housing material
Types 2040.xx, 2080.xx, and 2100.xx are housed in resilient ABS plastic.
Types 2045.xx and 2090.xx have aluminum housing designed for flush mounting.
How does the Proxi-Captor Series work?
The proxi-captor utilizes a high-frequency oscillator that adjusts when metal components approach. This mechanism drives a switching stage through a trigger amplifier, ensuring a reliable switching signal. With no moving parts, these proximity switches are suitable for applications where switching distances vary, high switching frequencies are common, or large sensing distances are required, with a focus on high repeatability.
This switch from Weber Sensors have been especially conceived for installation in harsh industrial environments and has several features and benefits including:
