February 4, 2013 - HSI Sensing (Hermetic Switch, Inc.) released the PRX+11200, 11300 and 11400 ferrous metal sensing proximity sensors. These sensors are 80% smaller than the previous models and can be activated from one of multiple sides without the presence of a magnet or power source. The sensors require only the presence of a ferrous metal, such as iron, to operate. Applications include limit sensing, position control, and safety and interlock sensing, as well as fire protection doors, control functions in plant and utility vehicles, and industrial applications.
PRX+ series sensors are precision-manufactured with hermetically-sealed contacts, making them immune from oxidation, dust, particles and extending their operation in extreme environments. They also come with features such as standard hole spacing, a heavy-duty mounting flange, and an adjustable trip point that can be tuned for specific applications.
