Sensors and limit switches

These pancake-style sensors are an excellent choice for applications that require an extremely rugged solution combined with the longest inductive sensing ranges available. Eaton's E56 pancake-style sensors feature auto-configurable, complementary outputs for ease of wiring. In addition, power and output LEDs make troubleshooting much easier than in conventional sensors.

Core features

The auto-configure output technology on the 4-wire DC models automatically detects how the sensor has been wired (NPN or PNP) and sets up the sensor for proper operation without user intervention.
The small-diameter, 2-wire AC/DC models feature a selector switch inside the housing, enabling output contacts to be used as either NO or NC.
Range adjustment potentiometers on medium- and large-diameter units allows for rapid set-up in any machine application.
The robust design features impact-absorbing potting compounds that help sensors withstand high-shock and vibration environments.
