Balluff expands its GlobalProx sensor family

22 February 2011

Balluff has expanded its economical GlobalProx family to include 2-wire inductive sensors that are resistant to welding spatter, as well as capacitive sensors for the detection of non-metallic components. GlobalProx sensors are 100% tested before despatch, and all are CE marked, cULus listed and backed by Balluff’s lifetime warranty. Both connector and cable versions are available, the M8 to M30 models being equipped with fully threaded housings.

The latest 2-wire dc GlobalProx sensors now include weld spatter resistant PTFE coated versions. Available in flush-mountable housing sizes M8 to M30, these sensors have extended switching distance in normally open or normally closed, polarized or non-polarized versions. These sensors are also available with pigtail connection. The GlobalProx M12, M18 and M30 capacitive sensors are contained within plastic or stainless steel housings, in both connector and cable versions. Globalprox capacitive sensors achieve a large switching distance even when detecting plastic components.
