The IMO AA1/CP-3A is a compact Ø3 mm shielded inductive proximity switch designed for precise, contactless detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Its miniature cylindrical format makes it particularly useful for equipment where installation space is restricted and conventional proximity sensors are too large.
Part of the IMO AA miniature inductive sensor range, the AA1/CP-3A combines a robust metal-bodied construction with a shielded sensing arrangement that allows flush installation in suitable mounting environments. Inductive technology provides reliable metal detection without physical contact, reducing mechanical wear and supporting high-cycle machine applications.
The sensor is supplied with an integral 2 m PUR cable, providing a durable connection for industrial installations. Its miniature design, solid-state switching technology and contactless operation make the AA1/CP-3A suitable for precision positioning, component detection and automated machine-control applications.
Inductive proximity switches detect metallic targets by producing an electromagnetic field at the active sensing face. When a suitable metal object enters the sensing zone, the resulting change is detected electronically and the sensor changes its output state, allowing compatible machine-control equipment to determine the position or presence of the target.
The miniature Ø3 mm construction of the IMO AA1/CP-3A makes it particularly useful for compact assemblies and precision machinery. Its shielded configuration enables the sensing face to be installed flush in suitable mounting arrangements, while the integral PUR cable provides a durable connection for demanding automation applications.

The IMO AA1/CP-3A is an inductive proximity switch used for contactless detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery, positioning systems and automated equipment.
The AA1/CP-3A has an ultra-compact Ø3 mm cylindrical sensor housing, making it suitable for applications with very limited mounting space.
The shielded sensing design allows the sensor to be installed flush in a suitable mounting surface while maintaining its intended inductive detection characteristics.
The sensor is supplied with an integral 2 m PUR cable designed to provide a durable electrical connection in industrial installations.
The AA1/CP-3A uses inductive sensing technology and is therefore designed for detecting metallic targets rather than non-metallic materials.
IMO miniature inductive proximity sensors provide machine builders and automation engineers with compact, contactless metal detection for position, presence and machine-control applications where dependable operation and minimal installation space are important.
