2-wire DC sensors

The Uprox+ line of 2-wire DC sensors now incorporate quick-disconnect capabilities, with ‘Factor 1’ technology, providing simple and space-saving mounting, compared to mechanical switches. The Uprox+ technology is claimed to extend sensing ranges for all metal types

2-wire DC sensors are commonly used by machine engineers, particularly in the automotive industry for aluminium frames.

The sensor features an integrated pre-damping protection function to reduce the metal-free mounting area in applications, allowing traditionally flush-mounted sensors to be recessed by half a turn for increased mechanical protection. Non-flush mounted sensors may be embedded in metal up to the outer edge of the thread on barrel-style sensors and on all four sides of rectangular-style sensors, causing only a slight reduction in sensing distance.

The sensors are available in M12, M18, M30 and CK40 body styles with cable and quick-disconnect options for easy replacement for mechanical switches, as the new sensor can be connected to the existing cable network. The sensors are weld-field immune and available with teflon or ‘Weldguard’ coating for further protection in welding applications.
