Inductive sensors are not a specific brand but a category of industrial sensors used for proximity detection and position sensing. These devices are manufactured by various companies worldwide, including prominent brands like Sick AG (Germany), Pepperl+Fuchs (Germany), Omron (Japan), and Balluff (Germany). Inductive sensors operate by generating an electromagnetic field to detect metallic objects without physical contact, making them ideal for harsh environments. They are widely used in automation, manufacturing, automotive, and robotics industries. Key products include proximity sensors, position sensors, and linear displacement sensors, which enhance efficiency and safety in industrial applications.
