Proximity Sensors - Balluff
Proximity sensors detect objects without touching them, usually at close range. They're among the most common sensors in automation, used for part detection, position confirmation and counting.

Magnetic cylinder sensors mount directly on a pneumatic cylinder and detect the magnet built into its piston. They confirm when a cylinder is fully extended, retracted or at a mid-stroke position, which gives your PLC dependable feedback without adding external limit switches or brackets.
Sensor Styles
- T-slot sensors – drop into the profile groove of most modern ISO cylinders
- C-slot sensors – for compact and short-stroke cylinders
- Tie-rod and band-mount sensors – with adapters for NFPA and round-body cylinders
- Analog position sensors – continuous piston position over a measuring range
- Weld-field immune sensors – resist false triggering near resistance welders
Choosing a Sensor
Confirm the cylinder's slot type, then choose an electronic (PNP or NPN) or reed switch output that suits your controller. Electronic sensors last longer and switch faster, while reed switches work well for simple, low-current circuits. Pick a cable or quick-disconnect connector based on how often you'll need to replace or move the sensor.
Centro carries magnetic cylinder sensors and mounting adapters to fit most major cylinder brands. Ask us if you're not sure which one fits.

Detection and ranging sensors such as LiDAR, radar and time-of-flight devices measure distance and detect objects over longer ranges and in tough conditions. They're used for collision avoidance, positioning, level measurement and vehicle detection.
Sensor Technologies
- LiDAR sensors – 2D and 3D scanning for mapping and detection
- Radar sensors – reliable in dust, rain, fog and darkness
- Time-of-flight laser sensors – precise long-range distance
- Ultrasonic ranging sensors – economical object detection
Choosing a Sensor
Consider range, accuracy, field of view, target type and environment. Radar handles dirty outdoor conditions, and LiDAR gives detailed spatial data. Check outputs and integration options with your controller.
Centro supplies detection and ranging sensors for industrial and mobile equipment.
