9962-1600 Application Field and Working Principle

Proximity sensors, also known as inductive sensors, are an important part of industrial automation equipment. The 9962-1600 series proximity sensors are widely used in industrial automation. Let’s take a look at the 9962-1600 series application field and working principle.

Application Field

The 9962-1600 series proximity sensors are indoor non-contact sensing systems. They are mainly used in all kinds of mechanical equipment and automation devices, such as packaging machinery, printing machinery, vending machines, conveyors, material sorting equipment, and other detection and control scenarios for industrial automation. They provide reliable and efficient service to all kinds of industrial manufacturers in a convenient and safe manner.

Working Principle

The 9962-1600 series proximity sensors consist of four parts: coil, oscillator, amplifier, and output circuit. When the object to be detected approaches the coil or comes in contact with the whole body, a signal is generated. This signal is then amplified and sent to the output circuit for control operations. The signal can be used, for example, to control the start, stop, or locate a machine.

The working principle of the 9962-1600 series proximity sensor is based on an electromagnetic field. The proximity effect is used to detect when an object is close to the sensor. This effect is achieved by inducing a current in the object near the sensor, which in turn causes a change in the electromagnetic field. This change is detected by the sensor and a corresponding electrical signal is produced to indicate the presence or absence of the detected object.

Advantages

The 9962-1600 series proximity sensors have the following advantages:

• Small size and light weight.
• No contact - objects can be detected without touching them.
• High sensitivity - objects can be detected from a few millimeters to a few centimeters.
• Low power consumption - the 9962-1600 series proximity sensors operate on a low voltage and require very little energy.
• High resolution - the 9962-1600 series proximity sensors can measure very small changes in the electromagnetic field.
• High accuracy - the 9962-1600 series proximity sensors can detect objects with high accuracy.
• Long service life - the 9962-1600 series proximity sensors have an operating life of over 200 million cycles.

Conclusion

The 9962-1600 series proximity sensors are widely used in industrial automation due to their small size, high sensitivity, and accuracy. They are used to detect objects from a few millimeters to a few centimeters without touching them. Moreover, their long service life of over 200 million cycles makes them well suited for applications that require long-term use.
