Sensors & Switches

Presence Sensing Devices

Our presence sensing devices detect the distance, absence, or presence of an object. We offer a wide range of sensing devices to solve your application needs.

Photoelectric Sensors

Our photoelectric sensors satisfy applications found in many industries, such as material handling, packaging, food processing, and transportation.

Inductive Proximity Sensors

Our sensors can be used in light-duty packaging applications and the punishing environments on automotive welding equipment or the harsh washdowns in food processing plants.

Ultrasonic Sensors

Our ultrasonic sensors are self-contained solid-state devices designed for non-contact sensing of solid and liquid objects.

Capacitive Proximity Sensors

Our capacitive proximity sensors feature metal, non-metal, solid and liquid detection, and the ability to detect some targets through other materials.

Reconfigurable 3D Sensing

Our Swift-E 3D Reconfigurable sensors are ideal for completeness (item count) checks, product level detection or box filling and palletizer layering.

Sensor Selection Tool

Selecting sensors has never been easier. With this simple set-up you can choose your industry and then funnel down by specific application requirements.

Limit Switches

Our limit switches are electro-mechanical devices that consist of an actuator mechanically linked to a set of contacts. When an object comes into contact with the actuator, the device operates the contacts to make or break an electrical connection. Our limit switches work in a variety of applications and environments because of their ruggedness, simple visible operation, easy installation and reliable operation.

Compact Precision Limit Switches

Our compact, precision, and small precision limit switches withstand the rugged environments that industrial applications demand.

Hazardous Location Limit Switches

Our Hazardous Location Switches are designed for use in applications such as refineries, distilleries, grain elevators and flour mills where dangerous gases or other materials may be present.

Heavy Duty Limit Switches

Our Heavy-duty Limit Switches are ideal for applications that need heavy duty pilot ratings, small size, and a high degree of versatility. We offer a wide variety of operating heads and operating levers.

Capacitive Proximity Sensors

Our Bulletin 802K 30 mm Metal Limit Switches have a range of options including snap action, slow break/make with 2-, 3-, or 4-contact configurations and a choice of actuator heads.

Safety Switches Limit

Our Bulletin 440P Limit Switches family offers a full range of international-style solutions for both safety and standard sensing applications.

Condition Sensing Devices

Our condition sensing devices communicate process variable information to automatically sequence equipment or provide a signal to operators for manual operation. Featuring electromechanical and solid-state solutions, our condition sensors can lower your total operating costs by helping to improve processes and systems, reduce downtime, protect expensive equipment and safeguard operators.

Pressure Sensors

Our pressure sensors include rugged, industrial-grade, electromechanical pressure controls as well as solid-state pressure switches for any application.

Temperature Sensors

Our temperature sensors and process controllers offer quick setup and provide precise temperature management and control for a variety of applications.

Level Sensors

Our level sensors are heavy-duty industrial control devices. They open and close contacts in response to changes in liquid level.

Flow Switches

Our Bulletin 839E solid-state flow switches monitor and display liquid media flow rate from 0.03 to 3 m/sec (0.1 to 9.84 ft/sec). This sensor measures both flow and temperature and is available with two different probe insertion lengths.

Speed Sensing Switches

Our Bulletin 808 speed sensing switches provide an electrical contact signal at a determined speed for plugging, anti-plugging, speed sensing, and direction of rotation.

Encoders

Encoders can electronically monitor the position of a rotating shaft. Our absolute encoders on EtherNet/IP connect to and operate with the Logix controllers to provide position tracking data to be used in open-loop control systems. Our absolute encoders are electro-mechanical devices that are useful feedback elements in closed-loop control systems. They provide position control in packaging, robotics, pick and place, lead/ball screw, rotary table positioning and component insertion applications. Our Incremental Optical Encoders provide low cost, smaller physical size, high frequency and high resolution. Our accessories help you easily install and efficiently use our encoders.

Absolute Encoders

Our absolute encoders complete your motion systems with feature-rich options that speed integration, improve safety, and increase flexibility.

Incremental Optical Encoders

Our incremental encoders provide high-resolution feedback and easily interface with external electronics for accurate position, speed, and direction.
