Working Principle

An oscillator circuit generates an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. When a conductive metallic target enters the detection zone, eddy currents develop within the target surface.

These currents alter the oscillation amplitude, allowing the sensor electronics to detect the target and switch the output state. The process occurs without mechanical contact, reducing wear and extending service life.
