Ingress resistant sensors

August 2004 Sensors & Transducers Surveillance Information Security

Designed specifically for the extreme requirements found in the food and pharmaceutical industries, IFM Electronic's Efector m high-grade stainless steel inductive sensors are resistant to high pressure cleaning and aggressive cleaning agents, and with their PEEK sensing face, they meet IP 68 and IP 69K requirements.

Operating in a wide temperature range from 0°C to 100°C, the sensors are also resistant to extreme changes in temperature. When subjected to a temperature shock test, the sensors were placed in 100°C boiling water for 60 minutes and then for 10 minutes in 0°C ice water where they passed successfully in more than 50 cycles. The range consists of M12 and M18 units, with increased sensing ranges as a standard. The sensors are also protected against short circuits, reverse polarity and overloads.
