At OnDrive Inc., we supply high-quality proximity switches engineered for non-contact object detection in automated systems. Designed to operate in harsh environments, our proximity switches offer dependable sensing performance in applications where mechanical contact is not practical or safe.

Our proximity switches ensure long-lasting functionality with minimal maintenance, whether installed in elevators, industrial machinery, or material handling systems.

How a Magnetic Proximity Switch Enhances Control

A magnetic proximity switch uses a magnetic field to detect the presence of nearby ferromagnetic materials. It sends an electrical signal to activate or deactivate equipment without physical contact. This makes the magnetic proximity switch ideal for use in environments with dust, moisture, or vibration conditions that can shorten the life of mechanical switches.

Our lineup of magnetic proximity switch products includes:

  • Reed switches for simple open/close functions
  • Hall-effect sensors for precise triggering
  • Wide voltage range for AC or DC integration
  • Compact and sealed housings for durability

We help select the right magnetic proximity switch based on your sensing range, mounting position, and signal requirements.

Benefits of Our Proximity Switches

  • No mechanical wear due to non-contact design
  • High switch frequency for fast response
  • Resistance to oil, dust, and moisture
  • Easily mountable in tight or hazardous spaces
  • Consistent signal triggering in high-cycle operations

Our proximity switches are tested to withstand repeated actuation and extreme conditions.

Where to Use Proximity Switches?

You’ll find our proximity switches in industries such as:

  • Packaging and labeling machinery
  • Food and beverage automation
  • Elevators and door systems
  • Material loading/unloading equipment
  • Robotic arms and automated transport systems

We provide proximity switches that precisely match your system’s voltage, load, and sensing distance.
