AutomationDirect has the
proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors and limit switches you need
to sense the presence of objects in a variety of applications. Our
high-quality line of proximity and limit switches come from
high-tech European manufacturers with years of experience developing
and supplying reliable sensors.
- We offer proximity sensors and photoelectric sensors in a large variety of shapes and sizes and more than 50 different models of limit switches.
- Photoelectric sensor offerings now include high performance rectangular models, with clear object detectors.
- Both LED and laser photoelectric sensors are available.
- Fiber photoelectric amplifers and a variety of optical fibers are also available.
- Ultrasonic DC and analog output proximity sensors offer long
sensing ranges.
Koyo is the third-largest manufacturer of bearings in the world, and has been producing quality, highly reliable encoders for over 32 years.
Koyo rotary encoders are used by many companies for angle, length-measuring, and position sensing in major industrial machinery and equipment worldwide.
Encoders are sometimes referred to as optical transducers or position transducers.
AutomationDirect offers a wide variety of light, medium and heavy-duty encoders (transducers).
Use these encoders with our PLC high-speed counter modules for accurate position monitoring and control.
