Pressure-resistant position sensors from ifm.

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed information about pressure-resistant position sensors from ifm, designed for industrial applications, particularly for hydraulic cylinders. These sensors are noted for their robustness, longevity, and cost-effectiveness.

Specifications: The sensors can withstand operating pressures up to 500 bar and bursting pressures up to 2000 bar. They are built with a 1 mm thick stainless steel housing and sensing face, ensuring durability over 10 million pressure cycles.

Design and Options: The sensors are compact, with a housing length of only 40 mm, making them space-efficient. They are available in M12 or M14 housing options, with cable or M12 connector configurations. Output options include PNP or NPN, normally open, normally closed, or complementary.

Technology: These sensors utilize magnetic-inductive technology, which detects ferromagnetic metals like steel. This allows for a robust design with a thick stainless steel housing, contributing to their long life and reliability.

Applications: While primarily designed for hydraulic cylinders, these sensors are versatile and can be used in various industrial applications, including municipal vehicles, valves, pumps, injection moulding machines, and presses.

Product Range: The document lists various models with specific sensing ranges, lengths, connections, and outputs, such as MFH200, MFH201, and others, each tailored for different application needs.

Additional Information: For more technical data, accessories, application videos, or pricing, users are directed to visit the ifm website.

Pressure-resistant position sensors from ifm.-2

Systems for mobile machines Pressure-resistant magnetic-inductive sensors. Reliable monitoring of the piston position. The units are based on a magneticinductive technology which solely detects ferromagnetic metals (e.g. steel of the piston rod). Using this operating principle the stainless steel housing can have a wall thickness up to 1 mm, even at the sensing face, resulting in extremely long life and high reliability. Pressure resistant: Operating pressure up to 500 bar, bursting pressure up to 2000 bar. Long life: With 10 million pressure cycles the sensor lasts as long as the cylinder. Extremely...
