RFID for Industrial Applications
RFID designed for consumer and commercial applications may not be the right choice for a production environment to convey sensor and other data. To help users avoid the pitfalls, Balluff RFID experts have written a white paper that discusses the three fundamental qualities to determine if RFID systems will perform reliably in a demanding production […]
Robust RFID data carrier with extra-large memory
Balluff has presented a new generation of data carriers, up to eight times faster than the standard, with extra-large memory of up to 128 kBytes at the SPS IPC Drives trade fair. These drives work up to eight times as fast as the standard ISO 15693, making them the ideal choice for track-and-trace applications with […]

Small Size Sensors Increase Application Opportunities
Many companies are addressing the need for smaller sensors. Check out: It’s a Small World: Sensing in Tight Spaces. However, Balluff has a particularly strong effort in this area with miniature sensors that use inductive, photoelectric, magnetic, capacitive and ultrasonic operating principles. In addition to increased design freedom from limited space constraints, the sensors do […]
Ultrasonic Sensors Offered with Form Factor Options
Operating independently of color and surface finish and not affected by transparent objects that generate strong reflections, new ultrasonic sensors from Balluff can measure distance or detect the position of granules, fluids and powders. In addition to availability in a variety of form factors and output types, the sensors have detection ranges that extend from […]
Accurately Measure Inclination
Wind energy systems, solar thermal power plants, medical technology, and oil and gas extraction can all benefit from accurate inclination measurements. For these and other applications require angle measurement or constant rotary monitoring, Balluff’s recently introduced inclination sensors may provide the answer. The sensors measure the deviation […]
Easily Interface Position Transducers to Control Systems
By adding a Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) to its Micropulse Generation 7 linear position transducer line, Balluff simplifies interfacing to popular control systems. Manufacturers that use the SSI include Allen-Bradley, Delta Computer, Siemens, Bosch Rexroth, and others. The SSI-output products have features including: Stroke lengths from 25 mm to 7620 mm Pressure rated to 600 bar; […]
Magnetic Field Cylinder Sensors Include Protection
Balluff’s recently announced Global BMF magnetic field cylinder sensors have both replacement and new design applications. Based on non-contact, solid-state sensor technology that is compatible with both reed and Hall Effect magnetic pole orientations, the sensors can replace standard magnetic switches. For new designs, their integrated short circuit, overload, and reverse-polarity protection provide design advantages. […]
