Proximity sensor vs Mechanical limit switch
Proximity sensor vs Mechanical limit switch
(OP)
I have an application of using a servomotor for testing of Dimmer switch. To prevent turning of the motor shaft a full revolution a need to use a kind of sensor for safety purpose. The choice of Proximity sensor vs Mechanical limit switch?

The reflective once are best used on a shiny surface, but we have used them on dark, dull plastics. The through beam just need to be set up so a flag passes through the beam.
Go to

and search for photmicrosensors...we used the amplified type (both transmissive and reflective)...but take a look around. Specifically check out ones like ee-spy411 or ee-spx403
good luck
