What is the difference between inductive and capacitive sensors?
Inductive sensors detect metal targets. Capacitive sensors can detect non-metal materials such as plastic, powder or liquid, but require more sensitivity adjustment.
For real industrial purchasing, the safest method is to compare the old part, the electrical input, the mechanical fit and the application before treating two models as interchangeable.

Send the model number, label photo, installed photo, target material, voltage, output type and quantity.
Yes. Wiring type, mounting style, sensing mode and environment often decide whether an alternative will work correctly.
