Inductive sensors from Turck detect contact-free based on the wear-free functional principle metal objects. The Uprox sensors are characterized by their special coil concept. The factor 1 sensors offer the largest switching distance on metals. A new inductive sensor based on the Uprox technology has now become cuboid for the Logistics developed and another for the first time carbon capture. Detailed information and further new developments from the inductive product group Sensors can be found below:

January 05.01.2022, XNUMX | Turck is expanding its portfolio with three non-flush ones inductive sensors, which are characterized by flexible measuring ranges and distance-proportional signal transmission. In addition to IO-Link process values, these sensors also offer a voltage signal from 0 to 10 volts and are ideal for precise measurements in smaller windows. They set new standards in the industry with their ability to compensate for temperature fluctuations and provide a perfectly linearized output signal, allowing them to be used efficiently in various industrial applications.
09.12.2021 | With the inductive proximity switch NI40UE-QV40 expands Turck's Uprox sensor family for use in the transportation and handling sectors. The cuboid Efficiency Line variant has been optimized in terms of flexibility and commissioning time.
As is usual in these applications, the factor 1 sensor also captures a smaller metal measuring field from the object to be measured very well when approached from the side. The sensor head of the inductive sensor can be positioned in five directions without tools and in a time-saving manner. This simplifies mechanical installation and increases flexibility. the IP68 sensor is magnetic field resistant up to 300 mT.
With these characteristics and its temperature resistance of -30 ° to +85 ° C The proximity switch offers high availability and operational reliability. The NI40UE-QV40 is offered as an NPN and PNP changer.
Turck is exhibiting at the Hannover Messe 2022.
May 11, 2021 | The world's first inductive sensors for detecting carbon fiber reinforced plastic detect both carbon fabric and pressed carbon objects. The patent-pending sensor family is based on the further developed Uprox factor 1 technology. The sensors thus offer the highest switching distance and are extremely flexible during installation. Manufacturers of, for example, benefit from this automobiles, Sports equipment, Wind Turbines and their suppliers.
Inductive sensor with a reliably high switching distance
The User benefits of the new sensor show a comparison to solutions previously used in this area: It is less sensitive to contamination than a capacitive or optical sensor and significantly cheaper than a Ultrasonic sensor.
The inductive sensors are initially available in three designs: as a threaded tube version in an M18 stainless steel housing and as two rectangular versions with a height of 20 mm (QR20) or 40 mm (CK40). the Degree of protection IP68 and an extended temperature range of 0 ° to 100 ° C for the sensor guarantee long-term, reliable use. Turck offers the proximity switch as a PNP changeover contact with M12 Plug
04.08.2020 | Turck completes its portfolio for the Safety Technology with inductive sensors with two OSSD outputs (Output Switching Signal Device). These are used for non-contact and wear-free position detection and area monitoring in safety-related applications. As proximity switches, they secure presses, cranes, amusement rides or machine covers.
The inductive sensors send switching signals via their OSSD outputs security systems. This enables them to recognize short circuits, overloads or cross-circuits. At the same time, they check the shutdown capability. With SIL 2 (IEC 61508) and Performance Level d (EN ISO 13849), the devices meet high demands on their functional safety.
Turck's new inductive sensor series includes the flush-mountable threaded barrel devices M12, M18 and M30 - each with a high safe switch-on distance, a robust metal housing and a temperature range of -25 ° to 70 ° C. Thanks to their insensitivity to dust and moisture, the inductive proximity switch the risk of systems failing. The manufacturer addresses users who want to implement a cost-effective safety solution with a metal target instead of a specially mounted actuator.
Position sensors for special effects in the big blockbuster cinema
15.12.2010/XNUMX/XNUMX | The rotary angle sensor family from Turck works according to the inductive measuring principle linear displacement sensors the LI series. Even with the new RI sensors, the angular position is not detected via a magnetic position sensor, but rather via inductive resonant circuit coupling. The sensor is absolutely insensitive to magnetic fields, such as those generated by large motors.
The RI sensors have one Measuring range of 360° with an accuracy of 0,15% of the final value. The separate construction of the sensor unit and position encoder as well as an offset compensation of ±4 mm guarantee easy installation and safe operation of the sensors. The position encoder can be flexibly mounted on solid or hollow shafts.
The contactless one Functionality compensates application-side bearing tolerances just as reliably as vibrations caused by shafts running out of true. This guarantees high linearity. The sensor also adapts to the environment on the output side: 0…10V, 4…20mA, 0,5…4,5V and SSI interfaces are available.
Ultrasonic sensors for distance, distance and level
With its high interference immunity, the robust housing and the mechanically unlimited service life, the RI sensors for numerous fields of application, for example for rotor blade adjustment on wind turbines, in tracking systems for solar panels or in swivel bar entrance systems as used in supermarkets, to name just a few.
