TURCK has launched its new family of robust inductive proximity sensors for use on mobile vehicle systems. Designed to reliably detect the position of doors, ladders, outriggers, gates and booms, the Mobile Equipment Sensor Series delivers rugged sensing solutions for agriculture, construction, commercial and utility industry mobile equipment applications. The sensors are available in five styles – M12, M18 and M30 barrel sensors, along with Q14 and Q20 rectangular versions – for easy installation on a wide range of mobile vehicles. By incorporating advanced technology and enhanced electronics, the sensors provide an extended sensing range while resisting the high levels of EMC often found with mobile vehicle electric systems.
The sensors are housed in robust PBT housings made from durable materials such as stainless steel to resist stones, salt spray and extreme shock and vibration. To ensure dependable operation in the broadest range of environments, the sensors deliver IP68 and IP69 protection and a temperature range of -40 to 85°C. In addition, the sensors series offers load dump compensation to withstand electrical pulses and provide reliable operation.
With quick-disconnect or potted-in cable connections, as well as optional mounting accessories, the sensor series is quickly and simply integrated into mobile vehicle systems.
Optional pigtail versions with standard automotive connections are also available.
