We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "M30",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release ID system tracks engine parts from
Balluff UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "The 1023-byte Balluff BISC-12805/L data carriers are capable of withstanding hostile manufacturing environments and rated to - 20 to +70C".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Colour sensor operates at long range from
EMX Industries: "EMX Industries' ColorMax-1000 Super Range allows the controller to make minor in-process adjustments without reprogramming or operator intervention".
In March 2007, we covered the news from OEM Automatic
concerning its Schonbuch Electronic proximity sensors
- take a look at Proximity sensors handle rough treatment
which says: "Metal encapsulated inductive proximity sensors are resilient to abrasions, chemicals and oils".
Take a look also at the news release from Contrinex UK, RFID system writes and reads from transponders,
as well as Seals survive tungsten carbide surfaces from Trelleborg Sealing Solutions UK,
and Materials answer aerospace sealing demands from Trelleborg Sealing Solutions UK.
