Series Features
VPA Series Analog Ferrous Metal Proximity Sensor
Series DescriptionThe VPA series delivers high-performance analog sensing for ferrous metal targets, without contact and without compromise. Powered by Hall effect technology, these solid-state sensors offer repeatable, large-gap detection through air, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials, ensuring long-lasting, bounce-free operation in demanding environments.
Whether you’re aligning steel components in automotive assemblies or detecting hidden ferrous targets in industrial systems, the VPA series offers reliable, analog sensing performance in a compact, easy-to-integrate package.
- Analog 0–5 V output proportional to target proximity
- Stable performance across wide temperature ranges
- Wear-free construction in compact, rugged housings
- Custom programming for precise, repeatable detection
- Flexible mounting options including threaded and flange styles
- Wide range of connector options with free end wires, cable harnesses with connectors, or integrated connectors
