Inductive Proximity Sensors Detect Actuating Parts

Sept. 30, 2022
Carlo Gavazzi's newest offerings were designed as a durable solution for daily indoor and outdoor applications.

The new IRC40 Inductive Proximity Sensors were designed as a durable solution for daily indoor and outdoor applications. They ensure accurate detection of actuating parts, such as skid conveyor positioning, step detection on escalators and material positioning on conveyor systems. The IRC40 Series sensors are resistant to extreme operating conditions such as exposure to a wide range of temperatures, frequent high pressure and washdown cycles. They offer flexible adjustment and adaptability for any application due to the 5-position sensing face.

The sensors can be installed quickly without any tools, thanks to their push-lock system of the mounting bracket. Main technical features include a rotatable sensing face in five different positions without the need of additional tools; four corner visible LEDs with diagnostic functions; an extended sensing distance of 22 to 40 mm; and IP68 and IP69K protection against high pressure and high temperature washing cycles. The IRC40 Series Inductive Proximity Sensors are ideal for conveyor systems, production lines and escalators.
