EATON E57 Series Inductive Proximity Sensors
Eaton E57 Series inductive proximity sensors are used to detect the presence of objects in hazardous areas. They can also detect the position of mechanical components, such as pistons or valves, and provide feedback to the control system.

NWorking Mechanism
- Around the detecting region, they emit a low-frequency electromagnetic field.
- A metal object alters the electromagnetic field near the sensor, which changes the electrical current that passes through it.
- The sensors notice this alteration and produce a signal as a result.
Features
- They have stainless steel construction for structural rigidity and resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
- These sensors provide short-circuit protection for preventing electrical hazards.
- They are equipped with laser-engraved labels for quick identification.
- These proximity sensors have operating voltages ranging from 10 to 30 VDC.
- They are integrated with a 360-degree LED indicator for providing an easy view of machine troubleshooting.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my Eaton E57 Series sensors are working properly?
- Check for any physical damage or signs of wear and tear that could affect the sensor's performance. Ensure that the sensor is clean and free from any debris or dust that could interfere with its operation.
- Test the sensor's output by using a multimeter to measure the voltage or current output. Place the multimeter probes across the sensor's output wires and activate the sensor by moving a metal object close to it. If the sensor is working correctly, you should see a change in the voltage or current output.
- Check the sensor's detection range by placing a metal object at different distances from the sensor and verifying that the sensor can detect it at the appropriate distance.
What factors should be considered while choosing an inductive proximity sensor for my application?
Major factors include the material & size of the object (to be detected), the operating environment and the desired output signal.
