Turck QP08 ferrite core-free non-flush proximity sensor
21 March, 2011 | Supplied by: Turck Australia Pty Ltd
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.
Nexen Generation 2 RLSS Series rod locks
21 March, 2011 | Supplied by: Norman G Clark Pty Ltd
The Nexen Generation 2 RLSS Series rod locks are available with an optional embedded engagement sensor. The spring-engaged, air-released rod locks deliver reliable holding forces up to 22 kN with very low backlash. The generation 2 models are available with an optional magnetic inductive sensor that allows feedback during operation. The magnetic inductive sensor is fastened to a T-slot in the housing to detect rod lock engagement (customer supplied reed switches are also compatible).
