The outstanding feature of the Contrinex series 700 inductive proximity switch is its one-piece stainless steel housing which, at one fell swoop, manages to eliminate the most critical weakness of this type of device. Forget damaged plastic caps, forget breakdowns due to inadequate sealing; they are things of the past! These switches are also exceptional in having very long operating distances, for instance 6 mm for the size M12 embeddable version. As a further bonus, these operating distances are also achieved on non-ferrous metals, e.g. aluminum and brass. These improvements result in completely new application possibilities for traditional inductive devices, without having to forego any of their advantages. In all others ways, they are normal proximity switches with the usual data and protection functions. Embeddable and non-embeddable versions in sizes M12, M18 and M30 are available immediately.

All the electronic sensors work on a non-contacting basis using magnets - this includes Hall and magnetoresistive sensors. The exceptions are the gear-wheel sensors which use a ferrous gear-wheel. The advantage of magnetoresistive sensors is that the same sensor, a standard small model, can be used for different operational distances. The operational distances which can be achieved depend only on the strength of the magnet used. All the models can also be delivered with non-wearing Hall sensors. Besides the various standard models, we also manufacture customised housings to your requirements.

There has always been an industrial demand for small and reliable proximity switches with very long operating distances. Thanks to the CONDIST® technology, developed and patented by the innovative Swiss company CONTRINEX, inductive proximity switches with quadruple operating distance have been launched onto the market. These switches guarantee all functionalities with operating temperatures of -25 °C ... +70 °C. They are manufactured according to the strictest quality standards, and present the user with a wide range of technically interesting and economically advantageous application possibilities. Largely compatible with standard proximity switches, they are particularly suitable for targets which are normally difficult to detect, such as small or narrow objects, non-ferrous metals, wires, etc.. The range includes N.O. and N.C. types, PNP or NPN executions, as cable or connector versions. Available in sizes M8 and M12, the devices are quasi embeddable, and contain all important protection functions, such as short-circuit protection, EMC and polarity-reversal protection.

The Swiss sensor manufacturer Contrinex, specialized in long operating distance and miniature devices, now offers a large selection of the world's smallest, fully self-contained inductive and photoelectric proximity switches.
With housing diameters of just 3 mm up to M5, plus cuboid 5 x 5 x 25 mm formats, the sensors have electrical characteristics equivalent to larger types. In addition, they also contain all the usual built-in protection functions, such as short-circuit, voltage-reversal and overload protection, and feature high levels of EMC.
Despite their small dimensions, the inductive models offer operating distances of 0.6 to 1.5 mm. Mechanically robust, with stainless-steel housings and full potting, these devices are highly suitable for rugged applications.
The photoelectric models are available with housing diameters of 4 mm and M5, as diffuse and through-beam executions, and have operating distances from 10 to 250 mm.
These tiny sensors are ideally suited for applications where space is limited. They require no separate amplifiers, and are thus easier to install and considerably cheaper than equivalent fibre-optic solutions.

Safety-/ position switches
Monitoring safe positions with LS-Titan
safety position switches From material handling systems to plastic injection moulding; from car washes to doors on trams: the position switches LS-Titan are used wherever there is exact positioning requirement.
The analog position switch with a voltage or current output also enables a range of new applications for the LS-Titan, where mechanical position detection could only provide insufficient information up to now – for example, detecting the position with opened flaps for flue gasses.
World innovation – the electronic position switch LSE-Titan®
electronic position switch The electronic position switch LSE has an operating point that can be set variably. Two fast and bounce-free PNP switch outputs enable high switching frequencies. They are protected against short-circuit and overload and are equipped with an abrupt switching behaviour. This guarantees a defined and reproducible operating point.
The actual operation point is in a range between 0.5 mm to 5.5 mm (supplied ex-works = 3 mm). The setting to the “new” operating point is performed as follows: The plunger must be moved from the “old” to the “new” operating position. Now the set button should be pressed for a duration of 1 sec. The LED now flashes with a higher pulse frequency and the new operation point is set retentively.
