Types of Pepperl+Fuchs Inductive Proximity Sensors
Pepperl+Fuchs produces a wide range of induction sensors. Let's determine which P&F proximity sensor you can purchase for your needs.
Inductive analog output sensors
Such P&F sensors are used to detect metal objects in specific operating ranges. This distance to the object is then converted into an analog output signal proportional to the distance, making these sensors ideal for measurement and control applications. Due to its low-temperature deviation, it remains reliable and accurate even in variable environmental conditions.
Proximity switches with NAMUR output
Sensors with NAMUR output can be used safely in explosive atmospheres. Using a circuit containing a NAMUR proximity sensor is only intrinsically safe if it is powered through a suitable isolation amplifier.
Proximity switch with "Metal Face"
These rugged and durable metal-faced sensors are housed in stainless steel, making them the best choice for these applications. Applications such as machine tools or metal processing often expose the sensor to targeted impacts, abrasion, and exposure to harsh solvents and liquids.
Pressure-resistant proximity switches
This range of sensors is pressure-resistant and suitable for hydraulic actuators and cylinders. The sensors can withstand pressures of up to 350 bar (cylindrical version M18) or 500 bar (cylindrical version M12) dynamically applied to the active surface.
Bus-enabled proximity switches
These smart proximity sensors expand their functionality, including power line monitoring, diagnostics, and network communication with a programmable logic controller. AS-Interface proximity switches have fault indication, on/off delay, and internal oscillator monitoring. These sensors are available in cylindrical, rectangular, and F-shaped housings with threaded mounting.
Proximity switches with protection category IP69k
Pepperl+Fuchs has developed new sensor features to reduce exposure to high-pressure environments and ensure trouble-free use in such applications. The design features of these devices are a tighter fit of mechanical parts, which allows for performance that significantly exceeds the test requirements for classes IP67/IP68.
Proximity switches with increased switching distance
These extended-range sensors can be used to solve problems such as installation restrictions and mechanical tolerances or for detection through protective coatings. They are also great for detecting small objects or overcoming material-dependent reduction factors.
Slotted proximity sensors
Slotted proximity sensors consist of a dual coil system that is sensitive to the opening of the slot. If a piece of metal is inserted into the sensor groove, the inductive coupling between the coils will be reduced depending on the depth of the target metal. The proximity switch will operate once this connection drops below a critical value. This type of proximity switch is less affected by the characteristics of the metal. It is also less sensitive to changes in target position in the direction of the core axis.
Proximity switches for valve actuators
Pepperl+Fcus valve position feedback sensors are available in standard housings according to VDI/VDE 3845 and in open solutions. These proximity sensors are available in direct actuator mounting options for quick connection, easy replacement, and exceptional compactness. Also available in standard-shaped housings that are well-protected and have integral terminals for the switch and control valve.
Proximity sensors for use in strong DC and AC fields (weld-proof)
Highly resistant to strong magnetic fields and enhanced mechanical strength, these sensors feature a durable Ryton sensing surface to protect against molten metal and a weld-resistant brass body, making them an ideal solution for harsh environments.
Ring proximity switches
Pepperl+Fuchs manufactures a range of ring-type proximity switches equipped with a coil to activate the controller as soon as a metal object is detected within the ring's circumference. Such sensors usually detect and count small metal parts passing through a ring proximity sensor. Both ferrous (FE) and non-ferrous (NFE) metals are detected.
