With no wearing contacts, Positek inductive transducers are extremely reliable over very long time periods (virtual infinite life) and maintain output stability over a wide temperature range. The X111 features rugged stainless steel bodies sealing between IP65 and IP68, depending upon selected cable or connector options.

Optoprox(TM) Photoelectric Sensor offers simplicity of mounting, aligning, and handling of inductive proximity sensor, but without range limitations. It features focused red light beam with fixed sensing range up to 23 mm, complete with background suppression. Unit can target very small objects and sense difficult-to-detect black plastic, metal, and rubber parts. Applications include presence sensing, positioning, controlling, and monitoring of discrete and process automation sequences.

As water evaporates in the water tower, the ICT1 measures the increasing salt concentration through the increasing conductivity. When a preset upper level is reached, the Cool-Control system opens a valve and the water drained and fresh make up water introduced until the conductivity drops to a preset lower level...

AccuProx sensors can also sense ferrous and non-ferrous metals (i.e., steel, aluminum, copper, etc.) and can be used to assure proper distance, size and thickness for various types of measurements...

Features include: PEEK body material that is highly chemical resistant; inductive sensor technology is not affected by coatings; faster temperature response assures accurate readings in dynamic installations; higher pressure rating...

Set to introduce complete line of economical, high-level output, non-contact position sensors for the OE and end user markets

Thanks to an operating temperature range of -25°C to +100°C and a housing made of V4A stainless steel, these sensors can be employed for food processing applications, in cutting oil environments as well as in any other environments subject to extreme contamination levels. They are even able to withstand environments subject to high EMI levels without damage...

Baumer has developed and designed an inductive sensor that is suitable for applications where space requirement is one of the factors governing the final decision to employ a particular component.

The company’s proprietary combination of Induction Sensing and a Protected-Probe provides high reliability and early warning of cyclone plugging. Industries include chemical, pharmaceutical, food and dairy, tobacco and wood particle board. Communications include 4-20mA, Modbus and Ethernet while a display and alarm relay contacts provide local interface...

These heavy duty sensors are reliable at temperatures from -10ºC to +70ºC, and are capable of measuring distances from 1mm to 10mm. For high speed applications, the IWRM 04 sensor detects very small (0 to 1mm), very fast (less than 0.5ms) movements at resolutions of less than 1mm...
