Frequently asked question (FAQ)

Question: What is a proximity sensor switch?: Answer: A proximity sensor switch is a general word for sensors that are designed to detect without contacting the detecting object and replace contact detection methods such as limit switches. It has the ability to convert the observed object's movement and presence information into electrical impulses.
Question: Can the connection cable for the proximity sensor switch be connected to any sensor and extended?: Answer: No. In addition to matching connectors, the connection cable for the proximity sensor switch must be connected to the plug-in proximity switch. The non plug-in proximity switch does not have corresponding connector and cannot be connected and plugged in.
Question: What are the characteristics of economy series proximity switch connection cable?: Answer: As its name implies, this product is lower in price than our H product but comparable to H product in quality. With a high level of performance in bending cycles, oil resistance, etc., it can be used with peace of mind.
