Product innovationsNews from the field of sensor technology
In the smart factory of the future, nothing will work without sensor technology as the 'bottom floor'! Sensor technology remains indispensable as the basis of industrial production systems. Computer&AUTOMATION presents current trends in the field of sensors in a series of images.
The SM40 inductive displacement transducers from a.b.Jödden are made entirely of stainless steel and measure displacements of up to 30 mm with high resolutions. With the attached stainless steel rod ends, the displacement transducers are easy to install. The packaging in stainless steel housing and the complete encapsulation result in a displacement transducer that is shock-resistant up to 250 g and vibration-resistant up to 20 g, operates between -40 and +150 °C and can be immersed up to 5 m. The integrated electronics convert the displacement signal into standardized output signals 0(4) to 20 mA or 0 to 10 V(DC). The inductive displacement transducers can be supplied with an operating voltage between 20 and 32 V(DC). The output signal is provided via a molded PUR cable. Protection class IP68 is achieved with this design.
