The Embeddinator Inductive Proximity Sensor NPN Switch (6–36V) is a robust and reliable non-contact metal detection sensor designed for industrial automation, robotics, and embedded electronics applications. Using inductive sensing technology, this sensor detects metallic objects without physical contact, ensuring long operational life and high reliability even in harsh environments.

Operating across a wide 6V to 36V DC supply range, the sensor provides an NPN normally-open (NO) output, making it compatible with microcontrollers, PLCs, relay modules, and industrial control systems. It can detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as iron, steel, aluminum, copper, and brass within a typical sensing distance of 4–5mm, depending on the target material and size.

The rugged nickel-plated brass housing offers excellent mechanical strength and resistance to vibration, dust, and oil, making it suitable for factory floors and outdoor installations. With a fast response frequency of up to 500Hz, the sensor is ideal for object counting, position sensing, speed detection, and limit-switch replacement applications.

Common use cases include robotic arms, conveyor systems, CNC machines, automated gates, industrial safety systems, and DIY robotics projects. Easy to mount, highly durable, and maintenance-free, the Embeddinator Inductive Proximity Sensor is an excellent choice for reliable metal detection in both industrial and hobbyist environments.
