Balluff
Balluff has one of the broadest product offerings of any sensor company. Balluff products include a complete line of sensors, transducers, ID systems, and connectivity products. Their sensor lines include photoelectric, inductive, capacitive and magnetic, as well as other more specialized sensor products to fit virtually any sensing application.
Object Detection
Sensors for presence sensing of objects and for synchronization of automated machinery and processes, it's important to match the sensing principle to the job at hand. Balluff offers a wide variety of discrete (on/off) sensor technologies to deliver optimal performance for your application.
- Inductive Proximity Sensors - Metallic targets at shorter ranges
- Photoelectric Sensors - Multiple target materials at longer ranges
- Machine Vision - Complex multiple target materials at short to medium ranges
- Capacitive Sensors - Bulk materials and liquids through container walls
- Magnetic Field Sensors - Wear-free position detection for pneumatic cylinders
- Cylinder Sensors - Includes magnetic field, high pressure inductive, analog inductive, and linear position sensors
- Ultrasonic Sensors - Analog and discrete outputs for transparent, reflective, contoured objects in dark, dusty, humid environments.
Linear Position and Measurement
Balluff offers a complete range of sensors for distance and position measurement for applications requiring continuous position feedback. Whether you need to measure a few thousandths of an inch or hundreds of inches, Balluff distance and position sensors provide accurate, reliable, non-contact position feedback.
- Linear position transducers - Rugged, absolute position feedback with stroke lengths from 2" to 200"
- Inductive Distance Sensors - Analog output for short range, distance measurement of metal targets
- Photoelectric Distance Sensors - Analog output for long and short range sensing regardless of target material
- Magneto-Inductive Sensor - Compact housing, continuous analog feedback with stroke lengths from 10-160mm
- Magnetic Linear Encoder System - High precision encoder for linear or rotary position feedback with lengths to 48m, resolution to 1µm
- Ultrasonic Sensors - Analog and discrete outputs for transparent, reflective, contoured objects in dark, dusty, humid environments with resolution down to 0.2 mm.
Networking and Connectivity
Choosing the correct connectivity products is just as important as specifying the right sensor for the unique industrial environments. Balluff carries a wide range of connectivity solutions, ranging from passive cabling and multiple interface blocks to active networking cables and IO modules.
