An inductive proximity sensor, a key component of the automatic loader bucket leveling system (the "Shovel Reset" feature). Its function is to precisely detect a metal tab on the loader arm, which sends a signal to the hydraulic system to automatically set the bucket to a pre-programmed working position. It restores one of the most important features for increasing work efficiency.

This sensor is used in machines with the automatic leveling function. Before purchasing, we recommend visually comparing the plug and sensor appearance with your old part.
Sensors are sensitive to contamination and electrical installation issues. Before installing the new sensor, thoroughly clean its socket and plug. We recommend using a dedicated HYPTRON electrical contact cleaner spray to ensure a perfect connection and avoid reading errors.
The automatic leveling function is one of the most important productivity-enhancing systems on a backhoe loader. It allows the operator to lower the arms and automatically set the bucket to an ideal, level working position with a single lever movement. This sensor is the "eyes" of that system – its failure disables the automation and forces manual operation.
Replace the sensor if your machine is losing efficiency and you're losing patience. Symptoms include:
✓ Work Faster and More Efficiently: The GX-AFTER Solution
The auto-level system saves seconds on every loading cycle, which adds up to a huge advantage over the course of a day. By choosing a GX-AFTER replacement, you restore this key function at a low cost. It is an intelligent choice that directly translates to greater productivity and less operator fatigue.
Stop wasting time manually setting the bucket!
Our sensor is available off-the-shelf. Order now, restore full automation, and speed up every work cycle of your machine.
Usually, no electronic calibration is required. However, it is crucial to precisely set the physical distance (air gap) between the sensor and the metal tab.
2. My auto-level function isn't working. Is this sensor definitely the cause?Failure of this sensor is the most common cause. However, the problem could also lie in a damaged wiring harness, the switch in the cabin, or the hydraulic solenoid valve.
