New from Turck is a series of inductive sensors that are specially tailored to the harsh requirements of mobile applications in utility vehicles. High switching distances and rugged housings, together with an optimised application electronics unit and state-of-the-art production technologies, ensure long-term stability. The suitability of the sensors for use in vehicles has been confirmed by the e1 type approval issued by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority.
The new Turck sensors operate in an extended temperature range from -40 to +85°C at a voltage of 8,4-65 V d.c. so that they can be used in 12 V and 24 V onboard power supplies. Their robust housings (V4A threaded barrel and PBT-GF30 for rectangular housing styles) are vibration and shock proof and offer a high resistance to rapid temperature changes and salt mist. The sensors offer large switching distances as standard and can be flush mounted, a particularly useful feature in the utility vehicle sector for protection against mechanical damage.
