The Contrinex Series 700 of stainless-steel inductive sensors now includes versions with an M8 sensor plus an M12 connector, allowing system designers to use compact high-performance sensors while standardising on an M12-connector format. The complete assembly of the sensing face, main housing and connector of these sensors are machined from a single piece of stainless steel. As a result, these sealed sensors can withstand extreme impacts and high shock levels, and are resistant to almost any chemical stress. In addition, the use of patented, sensor technology, known as Condet, produces a sensing distance three times that of conventional sensors of a similar size that is stable over its full temperature range (-25 to +70°C). The M8 non-flush sensor has a sensing distance of 6mm; with the flush mountable version it is 3mm. Rated to IP68, the ruggedness and sensitivity of the series makes it well-suited for aggressive manufacturing environments. Because the sensors are form-fit and are functional equivalents to conventional sensors, upgrades can be carried out with no tooling changes. They operate on ferrous magnetic metals as well as non-ferrous metals that have a good level of conductivity, and they detect all these metals at roughly the same distance: in other words, they will sense aluminium at the same position as steel.
