Balluff Company Overview

Their robust and reliable inductive proximity sensors are for detecting electrically conducive metallic objects. Cylindrical sensors come in designs M5 to M30 and various cuboid configurations and flush variants with ranges up to 15 mm and non-flush variants with ranges up to 30 mm.

Ideal for mechanical engineering, electronics production, automotive, food, or plastics industries.

Magnetic sensors come in short configurations that perfectly fit every gripper and short-stroke cylinder. These sensors detect the piston position without contact through the cylinder walls. The system is adaptable for cylinders and grippers with both strong and weak magnets.

These magnetic field sensors are designed for applications involving high movement speeds where contactless position detection and piston position reliability are needed.

These capacitive sensors reliably detect objects over long distances. They are suitable for non-contacting detection of solid bodies made of glass, wood, metal, plastic, composite materials, liquids, and bulk materials.

Their Smart Level technology makes them ideal for applications and processes where fill-level sensing for conductive media is crucial.

Photoelectric sensors check the presence, shape, color, distance, and thickness of objects. These are ideal for detecting and counting parts, monitoring stack heights, through-glass detection, aligning small parts, detecting marks, fill level detection, and much more.

Applications include robotics, automation, installation, and handling.

Their pressure sensors monitor the pressures of gaseous and fluid media. Pressure ranges from 1 – 600 bar, process connections G1/4”, G1/2”. R1/4”, and NPT1/4”, and IP67 and IP69K enclosure ratings.

Available with stainless steel housings, they are designed for the demanding requirements of extended temperature ranges and harsh environments.

Magnetostrictive position measurement systems come into use where high reliability and precision are demanded in position and speed measurement. Over long distances, these sensors offer contact-free and absolute measuring suitable for all industry-standard interfaces. Even under extreme surrounding conditions, they guarantee high machine and system availability.

Ideal for presses, injection molding machines, and gantry robot applications.

Whether your application is position detection, distance measurement, or the detection of solid, powder, or liquid media, ultrasonic sensors offer a precise all-around sensor solution. They measure fill levels, heights and sag without making contact as well as count and monitor the presence of objects.

This innovative way to monitor hydraulic short-stroke cylinders make them a reliable and economical solution for workpiece clamping monitoring in the field of metalworking.

Designed for the control cabinet, these short-circuit protected power supplies include diagnostic outputs for incorporation into machine diagnostics.

Available in single- and three-phase, 75 – 960 W, regulatable output voltage, and alarm LED-output digital signal, they are the perfect solution to integrate into the control suite.

With powerful contour-based image processing tools, these Smart Vision sensors locate, check, and count parts in any rotational orientation. They are designed to read bar and data matrix codes reliably and precisely at speeds of up to 40 codes per second.

These are ideal for the modern manufacturing plant through integrated industrial image processing.

Field attachable connectors are designed for the secure transmission of signals, data, and power. Connectors are robust and industrial grade.

With various designs and housing materials, they offer a solution that fits your application.

These single- and double-ended cordsets are designed to guarantee that signals, data, and power are reliably transmitted.

Robust and industrial grade cordsets offer a solution to fit any application.
