With its 6-mm package, Balluff claims to deliver the shortest self-contained inductive proximity sensors in the world. The fully integrated SuperShorty sensors do not require additional amplification and include reverse polarity and short circuit protection. The sensors have a 1.5 mm sensing range with PNP and NPN and normally open and normally closed versions. Three […]
Inductive
Proximity Sensor for Welding Applications
Rather than frequently replacing a sensor in an abusive welding environment, a new inductive proximity sensor can provide increased impact protection. Balluff’s BunkerProx M18 sensor has a thick housing for withstanding mechanical impact in welding applications. A frontal-impact deflection ring protects the face from repeated welding impacts. In addition, the sensor’s ceramic face resists weld spatter […]
DC stainless inductive sensor
Minneapolis, MN — Turck announces its complete line of 2 and 3-wire DC ArmorGuard™+ stainless steel front face inductive sensors. The line includes 8, 12, 18 and 30 mm barrel diameters with 1.5 to 10 mm achievable sensing distances. The sensors feature one-piece construction and IP 68 and IP 68K ratings, making them particularly suitable […]
