Proximity Switch

Proximity Switches — New & Used

Proximity switches are non-contact sensors designed to detect the presence, position, or movement of metal or non-metal objects without physical contact. Built for precision, durability, and fast response, they’re essential for automation, manufacturing, and safety systems. Available in inductive, capacitive, and photoelectric configurations, proximity switches deliver reliable object detection across harsh industrial environments.

At Surplus Select, we carry a rotating inventory of new and used OEM proximity switches from trusted brands such as Omron, Banner, Pepperl+Fuchs, Allen-Bradley, IFM Efector, and Turck.
