DuroProx inductive sensors

Stainless steel IP 69K full metal housings – DuroProx inductive sensors

Baumer: The DuroProx inductive sensors are tough enough to take it. The sensor family comprises inductive sensors with IP 69K protection class full metal housings that were designed from the outset for use in harsh and demanding industrial applications. Thanks to an operating temperature range of -25 °C to +100 °C and a housing made of V4A/316L stainless steel, these sensors can be employed in on- and offshore wind energy applications fors tasks such as monitoring of disc brake pads, rotor speed and position feedback as well as in any other environments subject to extreme contamination levels. They are even able to withstand environments subject to high EMI levels without damage. The necessary protection is provided not only by the full metal housing with an active surface made of stainless steel, but also increased interference resistance in accordance with EN 61000-6-2.

The sensors are available in extremley compact designs from 6.5 mm housings to larger M8, M12 or M18 versions. The sensing distance ranges from 2 to 6 mm. An ASIC was employed in the design of the inductive sensors in order to reduce the number of components and solder points to an absolute minimum. This has a very positive effect on the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), hence increasing the sensor reliability.
