Proximity Switches

Proximity switches

Proximity Switches are sensors that detect nearby objects without any physical contact, helping avoid wear and damage while ensuring reliable performance. They work by sensing changes in electromagnetic fields or signals when an object comes within range.

Available in over 500 models, including Inductive, Capacitive, Optical, Ultrasonic, and Magnetic types, these switches are designed for accuracy, fast response, and long service life. They are widely used in industries such as automation, machine tools, automobiles, textiles, and material handling.

With over 40 years of experience, Jayashree Electron offers high-quality proximity switches trusted by customers across India and worldwide, with a strong focus on performance and timely delivery.
