All of MagneTech' s Ferrous Metal Proximity Sensors share a common core functionality and feature set. Engineered to measure lateral distance to ferrous targets, these sensors are capable of detecting even small quantities of ferrous material through non-ferrous barriers such as aluminum, water, air, acid, titanium, and more. They provide an analog voltage output proportional to target distance, delivering highly precise and consistent measurements.

Our sensor offerings are organized into five distinct series, each defined by the diameter of its internal magnet. The series number correlates with magnet size—the larger the magnet, the greater the achievable detection gap. Larger series offer increased range and improved sensitivity to smaller ferrous targets at intermediate distances. However, they are also more susceptible to interference from surrounding ferrous materials, making proper series selection critical to performance in specific applications.
