Proximity Sensors - Inductive

AutomationDirect's goal is to provide you with the most practical way to purchase industrial sensors, at the best prices with superior service and support.

Visit our online store, see our catalog, or call us at (800) 633-0405 or 1-770-889-2858 to find out what we mean by BEST PRICES.
We provide industrial position sensors that are often 50% less than the competitors' prices and we offer FREE SHIPPING on orders over $300.

How can we sell inductive proximity sensors for these prices?

A) Because we sell these inductive sensors directly to you

B) Because the market is price-inflated due to fat markups from industrial sensors middlemen

C) Because we teamed up with several proximity switch manufacturers who know how to build quality sensors cost-effectively. . .

D) How about all of the above!

Tremendous selection of Inductive Proximity Sensors at prices that are hard to beat.
