Providing sensors that meet the practical demands of industry is a specialty of EGE Elektronic. The German-based organisation recently enhanced its proven EGE IGV range of inductive proximity switches through engineering changes, which now allow this sensor to withstand heavy blows during operation.
The company says the EGE IGV sensors are now shock-proof and capable of resisting ten blows with impact energy of eight Joules. One such blow is approximately equal to dropping a 1 kg weight from a height of 800 mm onto the sensor.
This enhancement means that the EGE IGV sensors more than meet the specifications of the relevant EN 50014 standard making them suitable for use in extremely rugged industrial environments and applications. The sensors are also capable of withstanding the force of water jets.
The stainless steel sensors are manufactured in a single piece and have a seamless front construction, allowing them to be used in hygienically demanding applications where frequent cleaning processes are necessary. The nature of the sensor’s construction results in optimum resistance to aggressive detergents, cooling lubricants, acids and bases.
Available in three models: M12, M18 and M30, the EGE IGV sensors are designed for operation in ambient temperatures ranging from -25 to +80°C.
