Looking for the next video on magnetic proximity sensors but can’t seem to find it. Can you share the link? Are magnetic proximity sensors primarily used for safety door interlocks? have a rectangular tray held in place with two magnetic arms (The two shorter sides of the rectangular tray sit on the two magnetic arms). There are cases when the tray can move upwards (away from the arms). Can a magnetic proximity sensor pointed at the top of the tray detect motion of the tray when it moves away from the magnetic arm momentarily? Thinking about mae-ap-1f
Rakshith, You can find our sensor videos on this link: www.automationdirect.com/videos/home?t=link&cat1=26 You may only need an inductive proximity sensor to detect when the tray is in place and when it has been lifted away from the magnets. If the tray is made of ferrous metal (steel) an inductive proximity sensor will detect the trays presence or absence. Other factors would be round vs rectangular, voltage, and sensing range.

Thank you for useful information, i want a proximity sensor to dectect the rpm of a bolt and i once the rpm is reduced i want the linear actuator to work with the help of arduino. what kind of sensor should be best for it?
Hi Colin, we would have to understand more about your application to answer this. You best bet is to contact our free support during regular business hours - they will be happy to help you. See the contact info at the end of the video.
Very informative and helpful video!! I have a question though, I know the capacitive sensor is capable of detecting any objects that has a dieletric constant greater than air but can it MEASURE its change of capacitance once it detects a non-conductive material?
Thanks for useful video. What sensor would you recommend for film base substrate? I need something that can be used for detecting motion picture film eg. super 8, 16mm, 35mm etc.
That's a pretty wide open question. What distance? Contact or non-contact? transparent or opaque? How Fast does sensor need to respond? etc ... Too much to answer here. Please contact our free support team during regular business hours. They will be happy to help you. You can see all of your support options here: ua-cam.com/video/IcbG7HKxzRE/v-deo.html
@@automationdirect Thanks for your reply. Probably around 5-10mm distance, non-contact, film base is transparent but has a photosensitive emulsion on top of it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_base. Response time probably under a second is fine. Would also need to be small package size. I have tried a 1-5 mm capacitive proximity sensor but does not detect the film at all and assume because it is because it is very thin/semi-transparent?
I want to detect very small metallic objects like screws , nails, washers 1-2 mm dia embedded in rubber-foam material that is moving 0n a conveyor. The sensor should be as large as possible (50 mm or higher). The sensing distance should be about 30 mm. Kindly suggest
You can actually do this yourself. Just go to the AutomationDirect website, and in the left column select sensors, then proximity sensors. Now in the left column you can select all the features you want. This quickly gets you to the part number you need.

Hi Jeremy, Go to www.automationdirect.com and search for "EVC". They are really cool because they come in a standard pig tail AND a Male & Female end so you can simply insert them between your sensor and regular cable to use as a diagnostic. And they are inexpensive ($12 - $18).
Can a proximity switch be used like a momentary switch? I'm trying to add a neutral safety to my transmission shifer and wanted to add one to the shifter under the boot at each gear position. Ideally they'd be normally closed in series with the crank request wire that goes to the PCM so if one detects the shifter it opens the circuit
@automnjeserich2689 the vast majority of proximity switches are momentary. If you need a latching option, you usually have to wire one using relays. I don't know that any of our switches are rated for automotive applications, but you are certainly welcome to give it a shot. :)

I have a breakdown of a main account motor that's not turning, it has a damaged proximity sensor pointing to the main motor shaft. How can I tell what type the sensor is
@claymoreChapindura, the only surefire way is to find a PN on the sensor and cross reference it. Alternatively you can look at what the flag or trigger for the sensor is. If the flag is ferrous metal of some type, it is very likely an inductive proximity sensor. If there appears to be some type of glass or translucent plastic on the sensor it is likely a photoelectric. There are other possible options of course, but those are two good starting guidelines.
Hi John, I wouldn't use a proximity sensor. They are typically too short range - you will want something that detects across the 20" hoop. And since ultra sonics are sensitive to vibration, the impact of the ball might mess those up too. Also, you didn't state if this basketball hoop was indoors or outdoors - that makes a big difference too. My preference would be a beam break optical sensor - possibly fiber-optic - but with out knowing more about your application I can't really define which one you would want to use.

hi question: what kind of sensor ( not proximity switch ) would you use for example if you have 2 metallic objects in close contact with each other and you want to activate an alarm and a warning light when these two objects get separated and not in contact anymore? thank you
You want to detect when two metal objects aren't touching? Why not just treat it like any other switch/contact? No sensor required, just connect them to a PLC input like you would a normally open switch.

Not sure I understand "periphery?" You want to sense something not directly in front of the sensor? If so, then you want an un-shielded or non-flush sensor. Capacitive vs inductive is more of a material decision - Inductive is for metal objects because it uses a magnetic field for detection. Capacitive uses an electric field so it can detect metal and non-metal objects.

Ugh ...We really need to do that video ... other projects overtook it and it fell through the cracks. Thanks for the reminder - we'll get it back in the queue.
Hi Bryan, Inductive sensors really depend on the type of metal being detected so you could optimize what you are detecting to help a little bit. Other than that, there really isn't much you can do to increase the range other than buy an extended range inductive sensor.
Thanks for the comment, Richelle Park. A capacitive sensor will detect any object that meets it's sensing size and has a dielectric different than air. Since very few things have the same dielectric as air, I have always looked at a capacitive sensor, as the "everything and the kitchen sink" sensor. I have used this sensor, to sense all the objects that are in your list. The two factors that give a disadvantage to capacitive sensors, are the effect temperature and environmental changes has to the accuracy, and the last being that the overall accuracy is not as high as let's say inductive sensors. Now the technology around capacitive sensors, in years of late, have reduced these disadvantages greatly. I hope this has helped in your research. Have a great day!

@Sk Sahadat Ali, if you are looking for distance measurement you are looking for something with an analog output. The things to keep in mind when specifying a distance measurement device, is the distance you will be measuring across, the material you are detecting and the type of output your device needs (ie. 4-20mA, 0-10VDC, 0-5VDC etc)
Can the proximity sensor be turned into a metal detector? Inductive proximity sensors are designed to detect the presence of ferrous metals. Using them as a "metal detector" could possibly be achieved but will be limited to the sensing distance of the selected sensor. If you have technical questions about our products and your potential application, you can contact our free award winning technical support here: community.automationdirect.com/s/contactsupport

Hello! Thank you for watching. Check out this blog post, to help you choose the right proximity sensor: library.automationdirect.com/choosing-right-proximity-sensor/ Thanks!
@Abas jabr, thanks for the comment. That depends on a lot of factors. First you will need to know the material you are sensing, the speed at which it will be sensed and then the distance. The sensors used in this video will only provide a discrete output. You will need some type of Tachometer or other control system to calculate the RPM.

The two factors that give a disadvantage to capacitive sensors, are the effect temperature and environmental changes has to the accuracy, and the last being that the overall accuracy is not as high as let's say inductive sensors. Now the technology around capacitive sensors, in years of late, have reduced these disadvantages greatly.
I hope this has helped in your research. Have a great day!
Thank you! Very helpful!
Thanks from HTM sensors!
Thanks Tino! Did you know we have over 1000 automation tutorial videos just like it at www.automationdirect.com/videos and www.automationdirect.com/cookbook? Check it out - there's lots of good stuff there!
@@automationdirect awesome! Thanks for the link!
Hello! Can I ask which sensor should I use if I want to detect different types of plastic (PET, PVC etc)? They have different wavelengths but I'm not sure which sensor to use for detecting them separately.
Also, from where can I get it?
Thank you!
Capacitive and Ultrasonic sensors will both detect plastics. The distance of the mounted sensor from the detection target will determine which sensor style to choose. It would be best to contact our technical support or our community page for help selecting a sensor for your application. You can find the contact information on our page here: community.automationdirect.com/s/contactsupport
You can order sensors from our webpage at AutomationDirect.com. We only ship to North America. If you are outside of our area, you can contact one of our international VARs here: www.automationdirect.com/adc/international/international

For underwater to detect object what kind of sensor i want use?
Hi Viki, I don't think we have any underwater sensors, but just to be sure, please contact our free tech support during regular business hours - they will be happy to help you.
Sir how can I make proximity sensor as distance measuring device??? Plz help
@Sk Sahadat Ali, if you are looking for distance measurement you are looking for something with an analog output. The things to keep in mind when specifying a distance measurement device, is the distance you will be measuring across, the material you are detecting and the type of output your device needs (ie. 4-20mA, 0-10VDC, 0-5VDC etc)
Bisa kah proximity sensor di jadi kan alat metal ditektor terima kasih
Can the proximity sensor be turned into a metal detector? Inductive proximity sensors are designed to detect the presence of ferrous metals. Using them as a "metal detector" could possibly be achieved but will be limited to the sensing distance of the selected sensor.

Thanks Tomas for your support.
does this series circuit work for npn nc
Depends on the sensor, but yes, most have that option.
Try this:
1. Go to www.automationdirect.com
2. On the left bar click Sensors/Encoders
3. Choose one of the Proximity Sensors
4. On the left, you can now check "N.C." and "NPN"
5. You will now see all the Proximity sensors that meet your needs!

what are the factor which require in the selection of inductive proximity sensor? please tell
Hello! Thank you for watching. Check out this blog post, to help you choose the right proximity sensor: library.automationdirect.com/choosing-right-proximity-sensor/ Thanks!
What sensor type should I use to know the rpm ?thnks
@Abas jabr, thanks for the comment. That depends on a lot of factors. First you will need to know the material you are sensing, the speed at which it will be sensed and then the distance. The sensors used in this video will only provide a discrete output. You will need some type of Tachometer or other control system to calculate the RPM.

hello
Hello. I need know which sensor can i used in a line of production with bottle amber and clear?. i look the sensor PRK 18/24 DL46 of leuze electronic.
thank you
Morning Nelson. We do not currently have any sensors that would be rated for both clear and amber bottles. The closest we have is rated for clear. Please see the following link.

Hello, do you have a codes for capacitive proximity and inductive sensor using arduino? Can you please provide a link of it. We are having a project about using capacitive proximity and inductive 3pins. Can you please help us ? It would be a great help. Thanks. Godbless . More power.
@Christine Evangelio, thanks for the comment. We don't have any example code, for inductive or capacitive sensors with Arduino based control. We specialize more on PLC platforms. I would advise looking on Arduino Project hub (create.arduino.cc/projecthub) for example code. Hope this helps. Have a great day.
Thank you so much. Godbless and more power.
Why u r using-ve voltage in vibration sensor why not+ve?
Not sure what you are referring to .. Can you elaborate and tell me where in the video you see this?
@@automationdirectI didn't see any video about discuss in - ve voltage I'm telling you about my practical , because I'm a instrumentation technician I did many more site , we are using - voltage in turbine shaft vibration only like , axial shift , ecentiri citi, key phaser, zero speed etc , those vibration sensor are we are setting -10.5 voltage it's calling also gap voltage setting I did many more site, plz my request
