Rugged Sensors for Small-Scale
Process Technology
Detect temperatures using direct media contact
Balluff is expanding their range of sensors for
media-contacting temperature detection, in
hydraulic power units for example. New are a
temperature sensor with display, a temperature
transmitter as well as a PT1000 sensor .The
version without display is especially compact
and vibration-resistant, whereas the versions
with the turnable and highly readable display
offers high operating convenience and flexible
installation.
Depending on the version, the BFT sensors provide
PNP switching outputs, analog signals 0...10V
/4...20mA or work as a PT1000 sensor. They are
simple to install by threading into the process using
a standard process connection with G- and NPT
threads. Integrating them requires just a 4-pin M12
plug on the sensor.
Continuous monitoring of process media on
machines and equipment contributes greatly to
process security. Values that need to be maintained
are pressure, level and temperature. When for
example in a hydraulic system you need to monitor
the temperature of the hydraulic fluid, you can
do this reliably using our BFT media-contacting
temperature sensors. Monitoring the temperature
within the hydraulic loop guarantees correct fluid
viscosity and thereby the best performance of a
machine. Critical process conditions such as a
temperature limit can be controlled directly via
the switching output. An analog output provides
continuous measurement results. The BFT
temperature sensors also stand out when it comes
to monitoring the cooling water, lubricants and
compressed air, making them ideal for a variety of
applications.
