This Rugged Sensor Family Features Modular Components
for Versatile Sensing
1
The Cutler-Hammer
Proximity Sensor Family from
electrical business combines high
performance with a familiar limit
switch style housing. Modular, plugin components provide application
flexibility, ease of maintenance, less
downtime and reduced inventory.
Choose from 2-wire sensors with
AC/DC operation, or 4-wire sensors
in either AC or DC styles. Connection
options include terminal, miniconnector or various lengths of cable.
Choose from standard sensors that
detect all types of metallic targets.
The next page provides more detail
on these sensors.
