9964-4265

Proximity Sensors are sensors that capture changes in an environment without physical contact. The most common types of proximity sensors are inductive, capacitive, and ultrasonic. One such example of a proximity sensor is the 9964-4265, which is a 2-wire Inductive Proximity Sensor.

Inductive proximity sensors are used to detect metal objects without contact. The 9964-4265 works by emitting a magnetic field that induces an electrical current in the metal object when it comes within the sensor\'s range. As the distance between the metal object and the 9964-4265 varies, the strength of the induced current also varies, resulting in a change in output from the 9964-4265.

The 9964-4265 is used for a variety of applications including proximity detection, motion detection, limited space detection, and object detection. It is particularly useful in situations where physical contact with the detection surface is not desirable. It is also used in applications where a low-cost, low-maintenance solution is required.

The 9964-4265 contains an oscillator, which generates a continuous alternating current, and a magnetic coil, which generates an alternating magnetic field. When a metal object comes within the range of the sensor\'s magnetic field, the current inducing the object\'s magnetic field will interfere with the sensor\'s current, causing the frequency of the alternating current to change. This change in frequency triggers a signal in the circuitry of the 9964-4265 which activates its output.

The 9964-4265 is configured with a sensitivity setting to set the distance at which it will detect metal objects. Sensitivity can be adjusted to ensure that objects are accurately detected without triggering false alarms. It also has an LED indicator which can be used to check the functioning of the device.

In addition to its wide range of applications, the 9964-4265 also has several advantages compared to other types of proximity sensors. It is capable of detecting extremely small or thin metal objects, and can function in both wet and dry conditions with a negligible change in accuracy. Furthermore, the 9964-4265 has a long service life and is relatively low-maintenance.

The 9964-4265 proximity sensor is well-suited for applications such as material handling, machine control, and industrial automation. It is one of the most widely used models of proximity sensors, and its versatility, reliability, and accuracy make it an excellent choice for many applications and environments.
