Inductive safety sensors with two OSSD (output switching signal device) outputs complete Turck's portfolio for safety technology. The proximity switches enable users also to exploit the benefits of contactless and thus wear-free position and range monitoring in safety-related applications – whether on presses, cranes, machinery or machine covers.
The inductive safety sensors meet demanding requirements in functional safety.
The sensors use the OSSD outputs to send switching signals to safety systems. They serve to detect short circuits, overload, or cross-circuits and to test switch-off capability at the same time. With SIL 2 (IEC 61508) and performance level d (EN ISO 13849), the devices meet demanding requirements in terms of functional safety.
Turck's new product series comprises the flush mountable M12, M18 and M30 threaded-barrel devices, each with a large assured switch-on distance, robust metal housing and a wide temperature range from -25 to +70°C. Unaffected by dust or humidity, the inductive proximity switches reduce the risk of plant failures – and are ideal for users wanting to implement a cost-efficient safety solution with a metal target instead of with a specially mounted actuator.
