They are the most reliable sensor type, with a MTBF of over 20 million cycles. When the metallic trigger enters the sensor’s magnetic field, the signal strength changes. This signal differential is used to indicate valve position. Choose Inductive Sensors for applications requiring 2-wire sensor output. Because they consume power during normal operation, Inductive Sensors can and must have Intrinsically Safe approval to be used in a hazardous area.
