Turck QP08 ferrite core-free non-flush proximity sensor

The QP08 is a ferrite core-free uprox+ sensor. The compact factor-1-sensor offers a high EMV and magnetic field stability, as well as large switching distances for all metals, and is designed for use in cramped spaces such as in packaging machines. Because in this area of application aluminium is usually used as a target-material, the factor-1-sensor reaches up to 300% higher switching distances, compared to customary sensors.

The QP08 provides the user installation freedom because of the small and compact housing (32 x 20 x 8 mm) and, because of few free zones, a switching distance of 10 mm and the possibility to install the sensor directly onto metal.

Large, curved LEDs at the sensor show the user the operational readiness and the switching state of the QP08 at any time, from the top view and from the side. Due to overmoulded electronics, the QP08 compact proximity switch offers protection category IP67 and is insensitive of dirt and moisture.
