Inductive sensors handle tough duties
The new IFRD range of inductive proximity switches comes fully encapsulated in V4A steel.
Every once in a while extremely harsh environmental conditions have limited the use of inductive sensors in quite a number of tough applications Call this a thing of the past from today: the new IFRD range of inductive proximity switches is fully encapsulated in V4A steel

Measuring with a laser sensor
Measuring with a laser sensor Baumer Electric has recently designed a new laser sensor family utilising proven triangulation techniques and fast microprocessor technology.
The electronics and the ferrite pot-core of the sensor coil, normally protected by a thin layer of plastics only, are well sheltered by a stainless steel shell.
This makes them IP68 proof which allows them to be used in most heavily soiled industrial applications.
The sensing face may even be exposed to pressures up to 20bar.
And, on top of that, neither chemically aggressive, nor very dirty, nor heavily EMC contaminated environments will force those tough sensors out of step.
Designed for quasi-flush installation they exhibit sensing distances up to 6mm.
The products are available in M8 x 1 x 46mm, M12 x 1 x 50mm and M18 x 1 x 60mm tubular enclosures.
Elevated EMC compatibility according to EN61000-6-2, vibration proof connectors and three port LEDs top off the profile of this industry-matched family of sensors.
