(Relatively) long-range sensing. (In Gear).


What: MM 12 and MM 18 series ex-protected magnetic proximity sensors

Who: Sick, Inc. (Minneapolis, MN)

Pertinent PERTINENT, evidence. Those facts which tend to prove the allegations of the party offering them, are called pertinent; those which have no such tendency are called impertinent, 8 Toull. n. 22. By pertinent is also meant that which belongs. Willes, 319.  Data: These sensors are capable of sensing magnetic materials Magnetic materials

Materials exhibiting ferromagnetism. The magnetic properties of all materials make them respond in some way to a magnetic field, but most materials are diamagnetic or paramagnetic and show almost no response.
, including permanent magnets permanent magnets,
n.pl magnets containing the mineral boron and the rare earth metal neodymium; often combined to create a neoprene or ceramic entity.
, through non-magnetizable materials, are compact and have a long sensing range of up to 70 mm. This extended range makes these sensors particularly useful in applications that must deal with aggressive media and high temperatures.

Why you should care: Sick says that its magnetic proximity sensors have a patented design that make them both sturdier and less expensive than competing products. Sick has modified standard inductive sensors An inductive sensor is an electronic proximity sensor, which detects metallic objects without touching them.

The sensor consists of an induction loop. Electric current generates a magnetic field, which collapses generating a current that falls asymptotically toward zero from
 to do tasks formerly requiring larger mechanical or electronic sensors.
