SENSOR APPLICATION ‘SNAP-SHOT’ 📸

Contrinex’s ‘Basic’ ‘600’ range of inductive sensors don’t require compromise, aside from accepting a low-price – Their rugged C44 inductive sensors, for example, offer a sensing range of up to 40mm in a small cubic 40x 40mm, IP68/ IP69K-rated polyamide glass-fibre housing. High performance, an extended operating temperature of -25°C to +85 °C and a long sensor life, make them ideal for an outdoor working environment, such as keeping a Ferris wheel turning.

Utilising a housing design which makes it interchangeable with common mechanical switches and competitors inductive sensors, it also features a rotatable sensing head, which can be turned in five directions giving extraordinary mounting flexibility. Installation is also made easier with tool-free mounting and bright LEDs on four corners to indicate the operating status.

An integral S12 connector allows for easy removal and replacement for maintenance and the IO-Link communication protocol included in the sensor, facilitates easy Industry 4 / IIoT connection.

The Contrinex C44 inductive sensor is not only ideal for fairground rides, but is also widely used in the automotive industry, conveyor systems, cranes and port facilities, plus a wide variety of machinery.
