Industrial Applications

1. Hydraulic Cylinder Position Sensing

The sensor accurately detects the end-of-stroke or intermediate positions of a piston within hydraulic cylinders. Its compact M12 size allows for seamless integration into the cylinder body for precise feedback.

Problem Solved

The high operating pressure of 500 bar and peak pressure of 1000 bar, combined with the robust stainless steel and ceramic construction and IP68 rating, ensure reliable operation and extended longevity in demanding hydraulic environments where standard sensors would typically fail due to pressure fluctuations or fluid ingress.

2. Machine Tool Coolant System Monitoring

This inductive sensor effectively monitors the presence or precise level of coolant/lubricant in machine tool sumps, tanks, or delivery lines. Its robust, corrosion-resistant materials are well-suited for harsh machining environments.

Problem Solved

Prevents critical machine damage and avoids costly process interruptions by reliably detecting coolant levels. The IP68 rating and corrosion-resistant (stainless steel, ceramic) construction make it ideal for aggressive, wet, and potentially hot (up to 100 °C) environments laden with coolants and metal chips. Its flush mounting design minimizes snagging and simplifies routine cleaning.

3. Industrial Valve Position Feedback

Provides precise and instantaneous feedback on the open or closed position of industrial valves, particularly those employed in high-pressure fluid systems, challenging process lines, or outdoor installations.

Problem Solved

Ensures accurate process control, enhances operational safety, and prevents system failures by reliably confirming valve states. It performs exceptionally well under harsh conditions, including high system pressures (up to 500 bar) and wide ambient temperature fluctuations (-25 to 100 °C). The IP68 protection rating further allows its use in outdoor or regular washdown applications without compromising integrity.
