A proximity sensor is designed to detect when something comes into a given range of the object in which it is installed. For example, car manufacturers are beginning to use proximity sensors in car bumpers to aid drivers in parallel parking. When a vehicle is maneuvering and comes near another parked car, it gives off a warning.
In naval warfare, submarines fire torpedoes which are wired with a proximity fuse which will detonate the payload when the weapon gets near the target.

Advantages of proximity sensors?
Advantage of proximity sensor?
What is a proximity sensor used for?
A proximity sensor is used for detecting close objects by emitting an electromagnetic field. These are useful for detecting objects without touching them.
How does proximity sensor work?
Without physical contact detecting the presence of objects is the purpose of proximity sensors. They work based on inductive, magnetic, photoelectric and capacitive properties of objects.
Can you put proximity in a sentence?
yes you can. eg. I am in close proximity to John.
What is 44L 701 Magnetic sensor?
I have a machine in which this sensor is fixed. 44L 701 is written on the above of the sensor. But i am not able to identify the exact type of the sensor. The function of this sensor is it gives output when a magnet is placed near to this sensor. This sensor looks similar to transistor have three legs. I think it is one type of hall effect sensor again not sure. So can anybody pls tell me the details of this sensor or something equivalent to this sensor so that i can replace these senors

What is difference between photoelectric sensor and proximity sensor?
photoelectric sensor-sense both metal & non-metal proximity sensor -sense metal only
What is the difference between magnetic pick up and proximity sensor?
A limit switch turns on or off when the object being sensed reaches a specific location.A proximity sensor returns an analog signal indicating how far the object is from the sensor.
What is proximity sensor on android ascend 2?
Proximity sensor allows the Mobile display to off during call when mobile is near to ears.
Who invented the first proximity sensor?
tion
What is a proximity sensor used for?

Can a mobile work without the proximity sensor?
Yes it can. The proximity sensor is only used to reduce the volume when you hold it to your ear. You should be able to set the volume level manually.
What sensor do you use to detect a moving target crossing a certain point?
Infrared proximity sensor.
Can a mobile phone work without the proximity sensor?
Yes it can. The proximity sensor is only used to reduce the volume when you hold it to your ear. You should be able to set the volume level manually.
What signal is generated by a hall sensor?
A: DISTURB signal when the magnetics are in proximity
What are the advantages and disadvantages of inductive proximity sensor?
The advantages of inductive proximity sensors areThey are very accurate compared to other technologiesHave high switching rateCan work in harsh environmental conditionThe disadvantages of inductive proximity sensor areIt can detect only metallic targetsOperating range may be limited
