Detect the presence or absence of an object moving at high speeds with a light beam.

Direct sensing switches detect objects when light reflects back from the object. The transmitter and receiver are in the same housing, so they fit in confined spaces.

Receiver switches detect objects when an object breaks the light beam between the transmitter and receiver (both included). They have a longer sensing distance than direct-sensing and reflector switches.

Reflector switches detect an object when it passes between the switch and the reflector, interrupting the beam. They have a longer sensing distance than direct-sensing switches.

Adjustable switches can increase the intensity of the light beam to better detect shiny or translucent objects.

Switches with DC input voltage produce PNP or NPN signal output. To determine which signal output to choose, use Testers for Proximity and Photoelectric Switches (not included).

Switches with a plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

IP67 rated switches are protected from dust and temporary submersion.

IP69K rated switches are protected from high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.

Rated IP69K, these switches can withstand high-pressure and high-temperature washdowns. They detect the presence or absence of an object with a light beam moving at high speeds and produce PNP or NPN signal output. To determine the signal output of a switch you are replacing, use Testers for Proximity and Photoelectric Switches (not included).

IP67 and IP68 rated switches are protected from temporary submersion.

Direct sensing switches detect objects when light reflects back from the object. The transmitter and receiver are in the same housing, so they fit in confined spaces.

Reflector switches detect an object when it passes between the switch and the reflector, interrupting the beam. They have a longer sensing distance than direct-sensing switches.

Adjustable switches can increase the intensity of the light beam to better detect shiny or translucent objects.

Switches with a plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

Color immune switches have the same sensing distance for dark and light colored objects.

Also known as inductive proximity switches, these detect metallic objects even if they’re obscured by water, oil, dirt, or a surface finish. Sensing distance is based on the target material. The distance listed is for mild steel. They’re often used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and produce PNP or NPN signal output. To determine the signal output of a switch you are replacing, use Testers for Proximity and Photoelectric Switches (not included).

Flush switches, also known as embeddable or shielded switches, can be mounted so that the sensor face is level with the surface of any material, including metal. They’re more accurate than projecting switches at close range and can be mounted close together without causing interference. Projecting switches, also known as non-embeddable or unshielded switches, must be mounted with the area around the sensor face free of metal. They have a longer sensing distance than flush switches with the same diameter.

Switches with a plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

Switches with IO link can be configured remotely when connected to a PLC, a human-machine interface (HMI), or a computer.

IP65 rated switches are protected from washdowns. IP69K rated switches are protected from high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. Also available: If you don’t see the switch you need, please select 6693T999 and specify manufacturer and manufacturer part number.

Sense objects from farther away than with other proximity switches that have the same diameter. Also known as inductive proximity switches, they remotely sense metallic objects even if they’re obscured by water, oil, dirt, or a surface finish. Sensing distance is based on the type of material being sensed. The distance listed is for mild steel. They’re often used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and produce PNP signal output. Some automatically sense whether PNP or NPN signal output is needed.

Projecting switches, also known as non-embeddable or unshielded switches, must be mounted with the area around the sensor face free of metal. They have a longer sensing distance than flush switches with the same diameter.

Switches with a 4-pole Micro M12 plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

All are rated IP69K for protection from high-temperature, high-pressure washdowns. Some are also rated NEMA 6P, 13, and IP67 for protection from corrosion, oil/coolant spraying, and temporary submersion.

Also known as capacitive proximity switches, these remotely sense both metallic and nonmetallic objects, but their strength is in sensing materials such as plastic, ceramic, and clear targets. Sensing distance is based on the type of material being sensed. The distance listed is for mild steel. Often used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), they produce PNP or NPN signal output. To determine the signal output of a switch you are replacing, use Testers for Proximity and Photoelectric Switches (not included).

Switches with IO link can be configured remotely when connected to a PLC, a human-machine interface (HMI), or a computer.

IP65 switches are protected from washdowns. Switches rated IP67 are protected from temporary submersion. Choose IP69K switches to withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.
