Sensors and limit switches

E55 NEMA limit switch nonmetallic inductive proximity sensors

Built sensor tough

Eaton's E55 limit switch-style nonmetallic inductive sensors are long-range devices designed for direct drop-in replacement of mechanical limit switches. The unique sensing head is factory assembled for top-sensing use, but it can easily be converted in the field to any one of four side-sensing positions. These switches also feature robust PBT housings for high resistance to wash down and corrosive chemicals.
