Inductive Proximity Switches

Manufacturer: Contrinex
Category: Inductive Proximity Switches

Robust and highly reliable, Contrinex inductive sensors are the fit-and-forget choice for non-contact detection of metallic targets at distances up to 65mm. Vacuum-encapsulated electronics and metal housings protect against shock, vibration, dust, dirt and moisture, making inductive sensors ideal for highly demanding conditions. An inductive sensor generates a magnetic field that is attenuated by a metal target. As a sensor nears its target, a sensing circuit detects the degree of attenuation and switches the output accordingly.

Inductive Basic

Contrinex standard inductive sensors have a worldwide and well-deserved reputation for uncompromising accuracy and exceptional reliability. With best-in-class sensing distances between 1.5mm and 15mm, the Contrinex standard range offers fit-and-forget operation, delivering world-class performance and a highly attractive total cost of ownership. Available in sizes from M8 to M30, with optional ø8 plain and 8mm square-section models, Contrinex inductive sensors are ideal for general position-sensing and presence-sensing applications in almost any industry, and are available in embeddable or non-embeddable variants. With a choice of hard-wired, hermetically sealed connecting cables or integral metal connectors, Contrinex standard sensors utilize application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that ensure highly repeatable results at operating temperatures between -25°C and 75°C.

Inductive Miniature

Only world-class sensors survive the most extreme environments, and Contrinex Extreme inductive sensors are ideally equipped for the job. Corrosion-resistant and impervious to aggressive industrial chemicals, Extreme sensors are also watertight to 80 bar, thanks to one-piece stainless-steel (V4A/AISI 316L) construction and a hermetically sealed cable entry. Rugged, reliable and highly accurate, the Extreme range is at home in the most challenging circumstances.

Inductive Extra Pressure

Dependable, accurate presence- and position-sensing at pressures up to 100 bar requires world-class performance and build quality. Contrinex pressure-resistant inductive sensors deliver exactly that, operating continuously in permanently pressurized conditions and at water depths up to 1,000 meters. The combination of a stainless-steel housing and a permanently bonded ceramic or sapphire-glass sensing face guarantees robustness and exceptional reliability in miniature packages sized from ø4 to M8.

Inductive High Pressure

Contrinex high-pressure inductive sensors are suitable for continuous duty at pressures up to 500 bar (1,000 bar peak pressure), ensuring reliable, accurate sensing in the most demanding pneumatic and hydraulic applications. Available with classic metal housing or one-piece, stainless-steel construction, high-pressure sensors detect the smallest parts and are ideal for piston-control applications where space is at a premium.

Inductive Extra Temperature

Contrinex Extra Temperature inductive sensors offer the ideal solution for position- and presence-sensing applications at temperatures up to 120°C. Industrial processes often generate heat, resulting in temperatures that would damage a standard sensor, but the stainless-steel construction and robust electronics of Contrinex Extra Temperature inductive sensors ensure reliable, accurate operation and minimal downtime in the most demanding environments.

Inductive High Temperature

Exceptional working conditions demand uncompromising performance, and Contrinex high-temperature inductive sensors deliver in every respect. Designed for continuous operation at temperatures up to 180°C (up to 230°C with remote electronics), the high-temperature range is ideal for the harshest environments, including automotive paint shops, metal-treatment plants and glass manufacturing, combining ultimate accuracy with world-class reliability.

Inductive Washdown

Contrinex ECOLAB®-certified inductive sensors operate continuously and reliably in the harsh operating conditions of the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries, ensuring uninterrupted production. Rated to IP68 and IP69K, ECOLAB®-certified sensors feature one-piece stainless-steel (V4A/AISI 316L) housings and are highly resistant to the corrosive chemicals used for clean-in-place or wash-down processes.

Inductive Analog Output

Engineers needing a reliable, repeatable, highly accurate means of measuring the position of a target object should look no further than Contrinex analog inductive sensors. Best-in-class temperature stability and a measurement range of zero to 40mm make the Contrinex analog sensor range ideally suited for measuring linear, angular and rotational position. With detection accuracy in the micron range and the best long-range sensing capability on the market, Contrinex analog sensors offer world-class performance with an attractive total cost of ownership.

Inductive Weld Immune

Contrinex weld-immune inductive sensors are ideal for the hostile working environments found in automotive factories and other industrial welding plants. One-piece, stainless-steel (V2A/AISI 321) construction ensures that weld-immune sensors withstand direct contact with weld spatter and are easily cleaned, ensuring minimal down-time. Best-in-class sensing ranges of up to 10mm eliminate the risk of collision damage – a frequent occurrence when operating in close proximity to moving machine parts.

Inductive Special

Contrinex inductive sensors are highly accurate, exceptionally reliable and tough enough to withstand the harshest industrial challenges. Take this market-leading capability, customize it to a unique specification and you have a Contrinex Special inductive sensor, designed to meet individual technical requirements. No matter how demanding the application, Contrinex sensors provide world-class performance and a highly attractive total cost of ownership.

Description

Patented Condist® oscillator circuitry allows best-in-class operating distances, while all-metal construction – including the sensing face – is possible with revolutionary Condet® technology. Designers everywhere specify Contrinex inductive sensors as industrial limit switches and position switches, as pulse-counting devices, or for distance and speed measurement.
