Configurable pressure transmitter from Baumer
With the FlexBar 3431, Baumer's product segment Process Instrumentation offers a fully configurable pressure transmitter with Profibus PA communication.
Call this a thing of the past from today on: the new IFRD range of inductive proximity switches is fully encapsulated in V4A steel.
The electronics and the ferrite pot-core of the sensor coil, normally protected by a thin layer of plastics only, are well sheltered by a stainless steel shell.
This makes them IP 68 proof which allows them to be used in the most heavily soiled industrial applications.
The sensing face may even be exposed to pressures up to 20 bar.
And, on top of that, neither chemically aggressive, nor very dirty, nor heavily EMC contaminated environments will force those tough sensors out of step.
Designed for quasi-flush installation they exhibit sensing distances up to 6mm.
The products are available in M8x1x46mm, M12x1x50mm und M18x1x60mm tubular enclosures.
Elevated EMC compatibility according to EN 61000-6-2, vibration proof connectors and 3 port LEDs top-off the profile of this industry-matched family of sensors.
A tough breed when it comes to the crunch.
