MKV Inductive Analog Sensor

Inductive analog sensors are devices which measure the distance or a change in position of metal objects. 

Proxitron sensors for displacement measurement are characterized by their extremely large measuring range, high accuracy and great mechanical resistance. The sensor output provides an analog signal which is proportional to the distance of the metal object, and a warning when the desired measuring range is overrun or when sensor overheating occurs. Objects of different size, shape, or material generate different signals. 

Based on these properties, inductive analog sensors are the ideal device for distance measurement, positioning and angle detection. They can also control bearing clearance and radial run-out or concentricity, discriminate according to material and size, or perform thickness measurement. 

Compared to optical distance measurement, inductive analog sensors are resistant to any kind of contamination, and ensure their continuous and reliable operation also under vibrations, vapor, dust, and even at temperatures of up to +100° C. 

All sensors are equipped with an RS 485 interface supporting also the MODBUS RTU protocol. Calibration is simple and convenient thanks to a software allowing changes in the measuring range, linearization, and output signal setting. The software also offers a visual representation of the sensor operation for easy monitoring.
