Magnetic sensors with reliable switchpoint

February 2014 Sensors & Transducers

ifm electronic’s magnetic sensors have ingress resistance in all media. The robust full-metal housing allows them to be used in long-life applications in hygienic areas in the food industry as well as in mechanically demanding applications on telescope and swivel arms or industrial trucks.

The MFS211 sensors can be installed behind stainless steel covers, allowing inexpensive and fast mounting as drilling in stainless steel or adjustment for flush installation is not necessary. The tolerant response behaviour ensures reliable switch-point detection, even with high mechanical tolerances. The sensors are also used for cleaning pipes to detect pigs through pipe walls. They offer long sensing ranges even through non-magnetisable metals, plastic or glass.

The switch point is extremely temperature stable and reproducible. The food-grade full-metal housing offers IP69K up to 100°C. The additional impact, shock and vibration resistance makes these sensors perfectly suited for a range of demanding applications.
