How should Inductive Sensors be evaluated?
For Inductive Sensors, three inputs form one selection decision: Metal type and effective sensing distance; Flush mounting and housing size; and Switching frequency, output and protection. Mounting-clearance definition is prepared after Flush mounting and housing size for Gear-tooth and metal-part counting has been compared with the mechanical and electrical interfaces viewed together.
When Metal type and effective sensing distance and Switching frequency, output and protection do not agree for Machine end-position detection with the mechanical and electrical interfaces viewed together, an installed part number is not treated as a direct equivalent.
Metal type and effective sensing distance, Flush mounting and housing size and Switching frequency, output and protection are compared with the mechanical and electrical interfaces viewed together through Machine end-position detection, Gear-tooth and metal-part counting and Tool and fixture verification respectively.
