German PROTSES sensor PROTSES model PROTSES price

PROTSES sensors are a general term for sensors designed to detect objects without contact, replacing contact-based detection methods such as limit switches. They convert information about the movement and presence of an object into electrical signals. Detection methods that convert to electrical signals include those utilizing eddy currents generated in the metal body of the detected object due to electromagnetic induction, those detecting capacitance changes in the electrical signal caused by the approach of the detected object, and those using reed and guided switches. PROTSES sensor classification 1) Potentiometric displacement sensors, converting mechanical displacement into
