• in Distance Measuring Sensors

  Balluff have to types of distance sensors: inductive and photoelectric. Balluff's photoelectric distance sensors use a "time of flight" system to find targets from 1mm to 6m, or can employ visible red laser optics to identify targets at 20µm at ranges under 85mm. Balluff inductive analog sensors use Ultralinear technology to achieve precise measurements in aggressive or harmful environments.

• in Magnetic Sensors

  Balluff offers a variety of magnetic sensors, starting with inductive proximity sensors. These products emit alternating electro-magnetic sensing fields that trigger upon entrance of a metal target. Housing styles include standard and mini tubular and block styles, as well as cylinders  and large housings. The company also produces inductive distance sensors with Sn ranges from 2 mm to 50 mm, as well as magnetic field sensors that use magneto-resistive technology to detect piston magnets through the aluminum walls of pneumatic cylinders.

• in Position Sensors

  Balluff offers a wide range of sensors for distance and position measurement, including a linear position transducer which offers absolute position feedback, with stroke lengths from 2" to 200". Inductive distance sensors provide analog output for short range distance measurement of metal targets, while photoelectric distance sensors provide analog output for short and long range measurement of targets, regardless of material. The company also manufactures magneto-inductive sensors and ultrasonic sensors.
