INDUCTIVE SENSORS Metals only

POSITIONING AND QUERY OF METAL OBJECTS Inductive sensors are very robust and therefore extremely tough. No matter whether high or low temperatures, high pressures, vibrations, acids, alkalis, oils, metal chips or external fields of welding systems, these non-contact proximity switches can handle almost anything and always work reliably. Inductive sensors are therefore true specialists when it comes to use in demanding environments. And yet our range of devices is very versatile. You have not yet found a suitable sensor for your application? Perhaps you will find the ideal solution here!...

IO-LINK: YOUR INTERFACE TO THE FUTURE IO-Link makes our inductive sensors intelligent, as they can communicate with higher-level control systems via the device interface. Our sensors can thus be parameterized during operation and also provide extremely valuable process, diagnostic and device data for production automation. The potential for your automation of the future is enormous: Through targeted process optimization and the use of condition-based maintenance strategies, you not only increase plant availability, but also transparency in highly automated production processes. Among other...

Offer completely new possibilities: Sensors with clocked coil in a one-piece full metal housing. PROVEN FOR A LONG TIME CONTINUOUSLY OPERATED OSCILLATING CIRCUIT magnetic alternating field active face coil The oscillating circuit coil behind the active surface of a proximity switch generates an electromagnetic alternating field which is continuously excited and expands in the space in front of the active surface. If an electrically conductive material enters this field, eddy currents are induced in it, which draw energy from the oscillating circuit. This "damping" of the oscillator can be...

CLOCKED COIL Of course, progress does not stop at inductive proximity switches and therefore leads to new developments. Best example: Inductive sensors that operate with a clocked coil behind the active surface. Here the coil for generating the magnetic field is not part of an oscillator. Instead, the magnetic field is generated by periodic, short pulses of transmitter current, flowing through the coil. This field induces a voltage in the object to be detected and generates an eddy current flow there. When the transmission current pulse is switched off, the eddy current in the object...

4 RANGES FROM STANDARD TO HIGH MORE SAFETY THROUGH HIGHER SWITCHING DISTANCES In industrial applications, the "service life" of inductive sensors is decisively influenced by the distance from the object to be scanned. Sloppily one could say: the greater the distance, the higher is the "life expectancy". However, the range of inductive sensors in particular is strongly dependent on their size, i.e. small sensor - small range or large sensor - large range. The user is therefore often faced with the dilemma that the desired solution is limited by the installation space on a system or the...

INSTALLATION SPACE: THE MEASURE OF ALL THINGS DEVICE DIMENSIONS FROM MINI TO LARGE In almost all industrial application areas, the tasks are becoming increasingly complex - and thus the challenges ever greater. This often includes the most diverse installation situations for sensor technology at and in plants. The range here extends from "extremely narrowly limited" to "extremely large" - and thus also the desire for solutions for large-area inspection. Our benchmark for both: application-oriented housing concepts and sensor systems.

THE SPECIALISTS THE MEASURING SENSORS DISTANCE MEASUREMENT OF METALLIC OBJECTS A very large detection range, high accuracy, stability, repeatability and low specimen scatter are the distinguishing features of these inductive analog sensors. The sensors are available in sizes from M8 to M30 for semi-flush mounting and convert the object distance into electrical analog signals. Devices in size M8 have a voltage output (0 ... 10V). From size M12 upwards, the devices integrate an additional current output (4 ... 20mA). All sensors have all important protective functions. Potential areas of...

Speed measurement on gear wheels in a gearbox. ALL STAINLESS STEEL, INCLUDING ACTIVE SURFACE A stainless steel housing manufactured in one piece is the special feature of these sensors. At the active surface, they are therefore absolutely tight against liquids and gases, as such media cannot even harm the housing material. Furthermore, these inductive sensors withstand much higher mechanical stresses than conventional proximity switches. Potential areas of application: I Integration in machine parts under harsh industrial conditions I Presence check of metal parts with different dimensions...

THE SPECIALISTS THE CHIPS-RESISTANT SENSORS FADE OUT METAL CHIPS OR METAL DUST ON THE SENSOR SURFACE These sensors only detect what they are supposed to and therefore do not detect the metal chips produced during milling, drilling or grinding. Steel or aluminum workpieces are reliably detected even if the sensors are covered with metal chips. With their extremely robust, one-piece stainless steel housings, these solutions are ideally equipped for the toughest manufacturing environments. Potential areas of application: I Position checking in metalworking and processing, e.g. drilling...

Predestined for high dynamic pressure loads such as in hydraulic cylinders. QUERYING THE PISTON POSITION IN HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS When it comes to applications with high dynamic pressure stress up to 500bar (peak pressure up to 800bar), these sensors are the best choice. With conventional pressure-resistant inductive proximity switches, the active surface is usually made of a ceramic material that is several millimeters thick in order to achieve high pressure resistance. Our pressure-proof sensors, however, consist of a slim, onepiece stainless steel housing, which is excellently sealed in...

THE SPECIALISTS THE RESISTANT SENSORS RESISTANT TO ACIDS, ALKALIS, OILS, SEAWATER AND TEMPERATURE CHANGE Climatic change resistant inductive proximity switches and inductive sensors with Teflon housing are particularly suitable for use in corrosive environments with constantly changing temperatures and high humidity. The high corrosion resistance and simultaneous mechanical strength is achieved by the PTFE full housing or the combination of PTFE and titanium-stabilized stainless steel. The devices have excellent sealing properties, including special seals and the multiple sealing of the...
