Inductive sensors for detecting carbon
Turck claims to have developed the world's first inductive sensors for detecting carbon, or more precisely carbon fiber-reinforced plastic.
The patent-pending sensor family covers both carbon fabrics and pressed carbon parts. It is based on advanced 'uprox' technology and, according to the manufacturer Turck, therefore offers the highest switching distances and maximum installation flexibility - for example for manufacturers of cars, wind turbines or sports equipment and their suppliers. The sensors are less sensitive to contamination than optical or capacitive sensors and are also less expensive than ultrasonic sensors.
The sensors are initially available in three designs: as a threaded tube version in an M18 stainless steel housing and as rectangular versions with a height of 20 mm (QR20) or 40 mm (CK40). Protection class IP68 and the extended temperature range of 0 to +100 °C are further features of the sensors, which are available as PNP changers with M12 connectors.
