Inductive Sensors
High Performance
XECRO’s line of inductive sensors cover all diameters between Ø6.5 mm and M30.
These sensors combine the highest sensing distances with extremely short housings.
Miniature
All inductive sensors of the Miniature Series are fully integrated; no external amplifier is required. All devices are equipped with reverse polarity protection as well as a short-circuit proof switching output. Also an optical switching indicator is generally built-in.
Metal-Face
The purpose of ring sensors from XECRO is to detect small metal parts with a static or dynamic functional principle. Static detection activates the output as long as an object is located in the sensing area (e.g. wire break detection). Dynamic detection means that the output is activated once an object entering the sensing area.
High Pressure Proof
Precise position sensing that operates under high pressure requires well-constructed sensors. XECRO fulfills these requirements with the wide range of High–Pressure Series sensors produced with two specialized technologies. These technologies result in a permanent pressureresistant level of up to 1000 bar (14503 psi).
Analog Output
XECRO sensors with analog output are able to measure precisely distances to metal objects. They are ideal for positioning, distance measurement and metal classification, or comparable applications. Analog current or voltage outputs are available with extended sensing distances in sizes ranging from M8 to M30.
Metal-Selective
Depending on the version, metal-selective sensors react only to ferrous or non-ferrous metals. They are often used in soda-can redemption or waste sorting machines.
2-Wire AC
XECRO’s 2-wire AC capacitive proximity switches are ideal for alternating current applications. For example, to replace mechanical limit switches. They are available in M18 and M30 sizes with sensing ranges up to 30 mm and are rated for 20…250 VAC.
2-Wire DC
For installations which benefit from a sensor with a 2-wire connection, for example in order to replace mechanical limit switches in an existing installation, XECRO offers sensing distances of up to 25 mm.
Ring-Sensors
The purpose of inductive ring sensors from XECRO is to detect small metal parts with a static or dynamic functional principle. Static detection activates the output as long as an object is located in the sensing area (e.g. wire break detection). Dynamic detection means that the output is activated once an object entering the sensing area.
Cubic Variants
The inductive sensors from XECRO also include a subset with cubic housings made of plastic. These sensors are also divided into three classes of different performance; from standard to high performance.
