AccuProx Analog Sensors
Product Description
The AccuProx from Eaton’s
Electrical Sector is a high
performance analog inductive
proximity sensor. The
AccuProx family of analog
sensors provide unmatched
sensing range, linearity and
resolution in an affordable
and compact tubular package.
Unlike standard inductive
sensors, which send an open
or close signal upon target
presence or absence,
AccuProx analog sensors
provide an electrical signal
that varies in proportion to
the position of the metal
target within its sensing
range. This makes AccuProx
ideal for applications requiring
precise position sensing and
measurement.
The sensing performance of
AccuProx sets it apart from
traditional analog inductive
designs. Utilizing
components from the cutting-
edge iProx family, AccuProx
provides sensing ranges of
three to
four times that of
typical tubular analog
inductive
sensors—all without
compromising accuracy.
Unlike many competitive
products, which are often
hampered by an “S-shaped”
output curve, AccuProx
outputs are linear.
AccuProx has the range
and precision to solve your
most difficult measurement
applications.
Application Description
Typical Applications

DANGER
THIS SENSOR IS NOT A
SAFETY DEVICE AND IS NOT
INTENDED TO BE USED AS A
SAFETY DEVICE. This sensor
is designed only to detect
and read certain data in an
electronic manner and
perform no use apart from
that, specifically no safety-
related use. This sensor
product does not include
self-checking redundant
circuitry, and the failure of
this sensor product could
cause either an energized
or de-energized output
condition, which could result
in death, serious bodily
injury, or property damage.
