Inductive Measuring Sensors with IO-Link

Turck's new non-flush sensors set new standards with maximum accuracy and smart additional information for condition monitoring

Turck has added three non-flush variants to their existing flush mount range of inductive measuring sensors with IO-Link output. The NI4-M12, NI7-M18 and NI12-M30 models supply a signal proportional to distance over a range up to 12mm as an IO-Link process value (2 bytes) or as a 0…10v voltage signal. Their measuring range can be adjusted flexibly so that the entire signal range can be used even within a small measuring window. The sensors set new standards with temperature deviation compensation and a perfectly linearised output signal.

With their accuracy and long range, the sensors are ideally suited to many applications, including the monitoring of the gap dimension on industrial rollers or detecting wear, such as monitoring concentricity on shafts. They can also be cost-effective alternatives for rotary encoders or linear position sensors in simple applications, recording linear and rotary movements as analog position signals using inclined planes or eccentric screws.

Additional functions can be implemented via the IO-Link interface: Besides the basic process value, the sensors output their internal temperature value, the distance value to the object and other diagnostic data. Besides their actual task, they can therefore also be used for condition monitoring or predictive maintenance – even as a retrofit solution.
