Low cost T-slot reed sensors

1st Quarter 2014 Shaft power components

The family of T-slot cylinder sensors from ifm electronic now has a reed element for the AC/DC voltage range up to 120 V. The sensor’s response sensitivity to magnetic field changes is comparable to that of common electronic cylinder sensors. The sensor can be locked in the T-slot by its self-locking mechanism and the fixing at the end of the housing allows excellent strain relief.

Thanks to the wide selection of adaptor accessories, the T-slot sensor can be fixed to almost every clean-line, tie rod, integrated profile or trapezoidal slot cylinder. The sensors have a wide temperature range from -25 to 70°C and connection is via cable, M8 or M12 connector. Connection as a 2-wire PNP/NPN is also possible. The self-locking mechanism as well as the convenient, easy and quick fit ‘drop from the top’ into the slot allows easy single-handed installation. They are ideal for use in industrial environments such as packaging or handling machines.
