Factor 1 and Weld-Field Immunity in a Single Sensor

The latest additions to Balluff’s inductive sensor portfolio deliver the benefits of Factor 1 and weld-field immunity.

The high-precision sensors reliably detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals including steel, aluminum or brass at an identical switching distance, unlike typical inductive sensors which have a reduced range for non-ferrous metals. This makes it possible to detect objects of different materials in a single application.

Additionally, the sensors are weld-field immune, meaning they aren’t affected by even strong electromagnetic fields. This, combined with their extended temperature range (from -40 °C / -25 °C to 70 °C / 85 °C depending on the sensor), ensure fault-free processing, even in tough environments. PTFE coated versions are available for applications in welding environments.

They come in M12 and M18 sizes and for flush and non-flush installation.
