Capacitive Sensors: . Non-contact . Wear-free . No feedback . Bounce-free output signal . LED function display . Senses nearly any material Capacitive sensors detect the change in capacitance of an object when it enters the sensor's electrical field. This means a capacitive sensor can detect not only metal, but even non-conductors whose dielectric constants are sufficiently large. Properly selected, a capacitive sensor is also able to "see through" certain non-metallic materials. This[...]

Remote Sensors: . No supply voltage cables for sensors and transmitters necessary . The transmitter supplies energy to the sensors . Reliable signal transmission even under extreme ambient conditions The use of remote systems is a proven solution wherever hardwired sensors cannot be used, such as on indexing tables and interchangeable stamping heads. The sensors participate in the motion of the machine components to which they are attached. The sensors are wired to the transmitter. The[...]

Incremental Encoders are devices for measuring speed and position in drive technology. HUEBNER HeavyDuty incremental encoders are characterized by the following excellent features: Robust construction with solid light alloy housing for high vibration and shock proof protection. Bearings at both ends of the shaft, where construction permits. Short-circuit proof power transistors with peak currents up to 300 mA for line driving over long cables with HTL-signals or optional TTL-signals to[...]

Inductive Sensors: . Background suppression . Light beam focussing . Teach-in function . Laser light . Distance measurement . Slot sensors . Lumines-cence sensor The wide-ranging optosensor line from Balluff finds applications in all areas of automation. Every series has its main strength and is an outstanding specialist in its area of application.

Analog Sensors: . Non-contact . Wear-free . Short-circuit protected . Function display with LED . Virtually unlimited life . Contamination insensitive . Reliable even under extreme conditions Balluff inductive sensors are used for controlling, regulating, automating, positioning and monitoring of work processes. They are rugged sensors which detect the presence of a metal part. They operate without contact and have an electronic output, i.e. they are wear-free. Applications include[...]

Micropulse Transducers: . Non-contact and absolute . Strokes up to 3850 mm . No power required for passive sensing element . Resolution down to 0,002 mm . Rod-style rated to 600 bar . Analog and digital outputs available Balluff Micropulse transducers in the Profile housing, with their mechanical design, the high protection rating, and their ease of installation, are an alternative to linear transducers such as potentiometers, glass scales, and LVDTs. The linear sensing element is protected[...]

Industrial RFID: . Non-contact data exchange . Read/write distances up to 100 mm . Read on-the-fly up to 240 m/min . No wear, no maintenance . Insensitive to contamination Balluff identification systems are indispensible tools for managing the flood of information in today's assembly operations. The right data at the right time at the right place: These demands are met by integrating the BIS system, as each material flow object. The code tag stores all the information about the object,[...]
