A Ferrous Metal Detector is a magnetic proximity sensor that detects the proximity of large steel objects. How does a metal detection sensor work? First, mount the Hall Effect sensor to a fixed surface. Then set the air gap with the provided lock nuts. Finally, when the ferrous metal moves into target range, the sensor detects the magnetic field and turns ON, producing a digital output.
Our line of Hall Effect proximity sensors will detect a large magnetic field gap. Even sensing through aluminum targets. The shape, size, and ferrous content determine the detection gap. Therefore, we offer a custom programmed target detection gap at a defined distance, ensuring precise and repeatable sensing operation.
Also, ferrous metal detector series include no wearing parts, true zero speed detection, and internal hysteresis. Modify, enhance, or update all of our Hall Effect sensors with our modular features and functionality. Start by selecting a housing in aluminum, stainless-steel, plastic, threaded, flange mount, and customer specific. Need a different sensor functionality? Then choose some options like NPN, PNP, TTL, etc. Furthermore, customize your connectivity with Deutch, Amphenol and other brand connectors. Or select free-end wires and pigtails, including any length option.
