Sumtak SHB-1001 Proximity Switch

The Sumtak SHB-1001 Proximity Switch is a compact, non-contact sensor in Sumtak’s SHB line that delivers a clean electrical signal when a nearby object enters its sensing field. Designed for automation and machine-control environments, it enables reliable position sensing, end-of-travel detection, and presence monitoring on conveyors, robotic arms, pick-and-place stations, and tooling setups without any mechanical contact, reducing wear and maintenance. The SHB-1001 is listed among Sumtak’s SHB-series models, confirming its role as a dedicated proximity switch within a modular sensing platform designed for integration with common control systems. Typically these switches provide a switch-type output suitable for interfacing with PLCs or other controllers, and their compact housing supports installation in tight spaces or crowded control panels. In practice, SHB-series devices are chosen for applications requiring robust sensing in industrial environments where metal-to-metal or small-object detection must occur with minimal physical intrusion. Exact electrical characteristics, including supply voltage range, output configuration, and sensing distance, vary by configuration and installation, so the SHB-1001 should be paired with the appropriate Sumtak documentation for your specific use case.
