Inductive sensors
Robust and versatile metal detection: the classic sensor for automation
An essential automation tool for object detection and monitoring
Wear-resistant, reliable non-contact position detection of metallic objects is required wherever automation is used, whether in mechanical engineering, electronics production, automotive, food, or plastics industries.
Balluff offers a wide range of inductive sensors with diverse designs for nearly any application: from standard sensors to sensors with increased switching distance, hygienic sensors, high-pressure sensors, ex-zone sensors for hazardous areas, and Factor 1 sensors.
Some sensors have an additional ceramic, PTFE, and non-stick coatings so that weld spatter, cannot stick to them. Sensors that are both Factor 1 and all-metal are also available.
