Applications that require withstanding constant shocks and vibrations, high bearing loads, dirt, and temperature fluctuations, dictate special sensor design considerations. Pepperl+Fuchs had these as targets when they designed the CVM42H CANopen Multi-Turn Absolute Encoders. Available with an IP66, IP68, or IP69K environmental rating, the encoders utilize magnetic sampling to deliver 24-bit resolution position value through […]

Sensing Invisible Targets
Do you need to perform error checking, sorting, measuring and positioning materials that blend into a background or are invisible? If so, Pepperl+Fuchs has designed a solution for you. The DK50-UV Luminescence Sensors also can detect fluorescent chalk marks, clear glue, tamper-proof seals and other marks that regular contrast sensors cannot. A light spot with […]
Data transfer with no wires or radio waves with Pepperl+Fuchs optical data couplers
Able to transfer data without wires or radio signals, across distances of up to 300 meters, without minimum distances, and at speeds of 100 Mbit/s: the LS682 optical data coupler from Pepperl+Fuchs opens up new possibilities for high-bay warehouses. With its large detection range of up to 300 meters, the device gives planners and operators […]
Magnetic Absolute Rotary Encoders Achieve Accuracies of up to 0.1°
Targeting tough ambient conditions such as dirt, vibrations, or extreme temperatures, Pepperl+Fuchs designed its ENA58IL and ENA36IL magnetic absolute rotary encoders to deliver high precision and resolution as well as an extremely durable, compact design. To achieve this, the design adds a Wiegand sensor to a two-axis Hall sensor. The Halls sensor measures changes in […]
Smart sensors are gaining ground – but much depends on the interface
By Dr. Peter Adolphs, Managing Director With new sensor elements and the increasing performance of microcontrollers, more efficient sensors can now be produced at a reasonable cost. This means that sensing techniques previously used only in measuring systems are now becoming useful in standard applications. However, the user has to address the question of how […]
New Miniature Diffuse Mode Photoelectric Sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs
Pepperl+Fuchs has added three high performance diffuse mode sensors to its family of user-friendly and field-proven ML100 Series photoelectric sensors. These new versions are designed to provide advanced performance for increasingly complex and space-constrained applications. The ML100-8-W is equipped with an extra-wide beam light spot for detecting transparent objects or use on heavily textured and […]
Pepperl+Fuchs’ F31K2 valve position sensor
The F31K2 sensor is part of Pepperl+Fuchs’ open solutions concept for valve position feedback. It is based on simple designs that can be used in a wide variety of applications, even in the harsh and corrosive environment found at Dutch company Frisia Zout. Salt is everywhere at Frisia Zout. “Zout” is Dutch for salt, and […]
Pepperl+Fuchs’ New PMI Linear Inductive Sensors
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces two new PMI40 models to its family of PMI linear inductive sensors. PMI40-F90-U-V15 and PMI40-F90-I-V15 sensors offer a 40 mm distance measurement ideal for vertical valve measurements. PMI linear measurement sensors are an ideal replacement for standard cylindrical analog sensors because they deliver greater linear range, linearity and accuracy. With these new models, […]
Ultrasonic Sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs Provide Pushbutton Programming
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces Series IO Ultrasonic Sensors. These IO-Link compatible sensors establish a new level of versatility and convenience with simple pushbutton programming. Pushbutton programming provides fast and easy on-site sensor parameterization without requiring any software. IO-Link compatibility unlocks a series of control functions that customize the sensor for installation in the most challenging environments. These […]
