Balluff Sensors

With more than 40 years of experience in the field of sensor technology, Balluff is now one of the most capable manufacturers of electronic and electromechanical sensors, rotary and linear transducers, as well as identification systems. Innovative technology, state-of-the-art electronics and application-specific customer solutions are the hallmarks of their entire product range.

Optical Balluff's wide-ranging opto line finds applications in all areas of automation. Along with tubular housings from M12 to M30, in both metal and plastic, Balluff offers a range of sensors in rigid, block-shaped plastic housings in nearly all sizes with various functions and performance characteristics Magnetic Magnetic field sensors respond to an external magnetic field. They are widely used for piston positioning in pneumatic cylinders. Housing materials are polyamide, PBTP reinforced fiberglass or aluminum depending on the sensor selected. Mounting clamps are available for attaching to virtually any cylinder size and type Mechanical Electromechanical sensors serve as non-contact command givers with automatic controls for positioning and limit switching on machine tools, flexible manufacturing equipment, robots, assembly and conveying equipment.They have been designed and proven for use under extreme conditions Inductive Balluff inductive sensors are used for controlling, regulating, automating, positioning and monitoring of work processes. Applications include machine tools, plastics machinery, textile machines, assembly lines, and anywhere processes need to be automated! Capacitive Capacitive sensors detect the change in capacitance of an object when it enters the sensor's electrical field. This means a capacitive sensor can detect not only metal, but even non-conductors whose dielectric constants are sufficiently large. Properly selected, a capacitive sensor is also able to "see through" certain non-metallic materials. This makes it the classical level detector, sensing the presence of absence of liquids or granular material through the container wall. Transducers Balluff Micropulse transducers are ideal for use in hydraulic cylinders for position feedback or as a level monitor with aggressive media in the food and chemical industries.
