Higher performance, longer life. Even in demanding applications! Reliable detection of pneumatic cylinders: The electronic cylinder sensors from ifm are designed for rugged industrial applications and operate without wear. Magnetic sensors for position sensing: The durable electronic measuring cell and the robust housing guarantee permanent and reliable operation. Cylinder sensors Magnetic sensors Technology comparison. ifm, as a leader in sensors and control systems, now uses the GMR and AMR cells that have significant advantages over Hall effect and Reed switch technology. Durability Reed low (3-10 million cycles) Repeatability low high Response time low high Sensitivity to magnetic fields Temperature stability low high Electronic high (unlimited number of cycles) high high Advantages electronic cells The electronic sensors are more reliable than a Reed switch. Reed switch contacts can get stuck, break or bounce. Excellent reliability. Mechanical wear of Reed switches can lead to a switch point drift. Fast response time. Reed switches with slower response times have a lower accuracy. Can operate reliably even with weak magnetic fields. Better than Hall effect and Reed. Extremely stable over the whole temperature range. Longevity low high Response sensitivity high high Insensitive to long-term effects of magnetic fields. Contacts on Reed switches can become permanently magnetised over time. Short travel distance, small hysteresis important for shortstroke cylinders.

The magnetic sensors from ifm electronic. Now with GMR and AMR technology. Today a high level of automation in production systems cannot be provided without using cylinders, grippers and slides. During the production process it is important to identify position feedback on these devices. Normally, position feedback is achieved using Hall effect and Reed switch technology. Hall switches, however, are polarity sensitive and Reed switches can be unreliable due to mechanical wear and slower response times. ifm s new series of magnetic sensors integrates GMR and AMR technology: These sensors provide enhanced performance in industrial automation applications. 2-wire technology. Direct replacement of Reed switches by the ifm 2-wire magnetic sensors. 2- and 3- wire versions with LED display and flexible mounting options. Polarity independent. ifm s magnetic sensors: reliable position sensing irrespective of magnet orientation, Hall and Reed switches, in turn, are polarity sensitive. IP 69 K, ingress resistant to high-pressure cleaning. High-grade stainless steel sensors and protection rating IP 69 K the highest protection rating for wet environments. Hazardous areas. ATEX approval group II, 3D. Excellent reliability by GMR...... and AMR technology. A GMR element is made up of extremely thin magnetic layers, each separated by a non-magnetic layer. Without an external field they orient in an antiparallel manner. If these layers are exposed to a magnetic field, the magnetic layers orient in a parallel manner, which results in a large change in resistance. This change is converted into a switching signal by the internal electronics. An AMR element consists of thin ferromagnetic layers. Electrical resistance is highest without external magnetic fields. The effect of a magnetic field reduces resistance. This change is converted into a switching signal by the internal electronics. Advantage: This method enables exact measurement of even very small changes of the magnetic field where space is extremely limited. This results in a smaller hysteresis and a short travel distance.

For industrial applications and hygienic and wet areas For pneumatic cylinders and linear slides. ifm s cylinder sensors are an excellent choice for low-profile, flush installation in T-slot cylinders. Using the adapter kits the T-slot cylinder sensor can be mounted on other cylinder types, e.g. clean-line, tie-rod, integrated profile and trapezoidal slot cylinders. Powerful performance using GMR technology: high switching accuracy and high switching frequency for high travel speeds. Conventional sensors: Cable and mounting screw are placed at opposite ends of the housing. If the cable is pulled, the sensor can be damaged. Standard mounting.

For industrial applications For small short-stroke cylinders and parallel grippers. To position and sort very small parts in automated production processes even smaller and more precise parallel grippers and short-stroke cylinders are demanded. In most cases C-slot designs are used. The two variants of the C-slot cylinder sensor from ifm with GMR technology guarantee faultfree position feedback even in difficult applications. The flush version completely disappears in the slot and is therefore more or less protected against mechanical damage. The short C-slot sensor with a length of 17.5 mm is specially suited for very small cylinders or grippers. C-slot cylinder sensors Two variants for reliable position feedback. Convenient: With its height of only 5 mm the flush sensor can be dropped from the top into all common C-slots. Flush mounting. For miniature grippers: The non flush, only 17.5 mm long sensor is just snapped into the slot. It is immediately fixed thanks to its clamping mechanism. Non flush mounting.

For industrial applications and hygienic and wet areas Position and speed sensing. Magnetic sensors from ifm electronic are used for non-contact sensing of positions, e.g. toothed wheels and pigs. The sensors can detect magnets through materials like stainless steel, non-ferrous metal, aluminium, plastic and glass. Due to the GMR technology the magnetic sensors feature very long sensing ranges and high switching frequencies. The sensors can be supplied in cylindrical and rectangular housings with cable or connector and are therefore flexible in any application. Magnetic sensors ifm s magnetic sensors are ideal for fast processes due to their high switching frequency used here for pulse evaluation by sensing a magnet on a rotating shaft. Pulse evaluation. S Application in the food industry: A bar magnet integrated into a silicone pig is detected through the stainless steel pipe. N Magnetic sensors detect the U-tube position on a flow plate by sensing the magnet through stainless steel. Flow plate. Pigging systems.
