EI / IA series Inductive Sensors

Carlo Gavazzi offers a comprehensive range of inductive sensors - primarily used to detect metal parts and objects. These sensors are used extensively in packaging and plastics machines, assembly lines and conveyor systems. Our inductive proximity switches feature a 10 year warranty.

Gavazzi inductive sensors and proximity switches are available in a wide variety of styles and feature both digital (SCR, transistor) and Analog outputs. We also carry a wide selection of ancillary products such as timers, zero speed relays, counters, and digital speed indicators and tachometers.

Carlo Gavazzi offers inductive sensors in cylindrical housings (from 4mm to 30 mm) with both standard and extended sensing distance and in a flat-pack housing.
