Super-short sensors get right to the
point
SuperShorties can be mounted in the tightest of spaces, and are much less likely to cause an obstruction or suffer accidental damage.
Balluff has introduced a range of super-short inductive sensors in both 6.5mm diameter and M8 sizes The smallest sensor in this product family is all of 6mm long (in the cable version) available in both housing sizes, with a sensing range of 1.5mm

The extremely short housing of the SuperShorties allows the complete sensor to be positioned directly at the sensing location even in space-critical applications, and for example in compact assemblies such as linear slides, valves and actuators.
With their rugged stainless steel housing the sensor weighs only 700mg (not including the cable).
This also makes the sensor ideal for highly dynamic applications such as pick-and-place machinery.
Easy to install, the entire electronics are integrated into the tiny housings, and so no external amplifier is necessary.
The SuperShorties can be mounted in the tightest of spaces, and as they do not protrude very far - if indeed at all - they are much less likely to cause an obstruction or suffer accidental damage.
A range of mounting brackets and connector cables are available to complement these sensors.
