INDUCTIVE PROXIMITY SENSOR AND METHOD OF MOUNTING SAID SENSOR
Inductive sensor comprising a casing (10) in which are positioned: - a ferromagnetic core (5) having a U shape, which core comprises two external branches (5A) and a transverse branch (5B) linking said two branches; - two detection coils (7) disposed respectively on the external branches (5A) of the core (5); - calibration means (2) positioned between the two external branches (5A) of the magnetic core (5), a longitudinal positioning of said calibration means with respect to the end of the external branches (5A) being adjustable; - an intermediate fixing piece (3) for fastening the calibration means (2) onto the ferromagnetic core (5), the intermediate fixing piece (3) being placed forcibly in an opening made in the transverse branch (5B), said means comprising a threaded zone able to be screwed into a smooth hole made in the intermediate fixing piece (3).
