ifm, as a leader

in sensors and

control systems,

now uses the GMR

and AMR cells that

have significant

advantages over

Hall effect and

Reed switch

technology.

Technologycomparison. The electronic sensors are more

reliable than a Reed switch.Reed switch contacts can get stuck,break or bounce.

Excellent reliability. Mechanicalwear of Reed switches can lead toa switch point drift.

Fast response time. Reed switcheswith slower response times have alower accuracy.

Can operate reliably even with weakmagnetic fields. Better than Halleffect and Reed.

Extremely stable over the wholetemperature range.

Insensitive to long-term effects of

magnetic fields. Contacts on Reedswitches can become permanentlymagnetised over time.

The magnetic sensors from ifm electronic.Now with GMR and AMR technology.

Today a high level of automation

in production systems cannot be

provided without using cylinders,

grippers and slides.

During the production process it

is important to identify position

feedback on these devices.

Normally, position feedback is

achieved using Hall effect and

Reed switch technology. Hall

switches, however, are polarity

sensitive and Reed switches can

be unreliable due to mechanical

wear and slower response times.

ifms new series of magnetic

sensors integrates GMR and AMR

technology: These sensors pro-

vide enhanced performance in in-dustrial automation applications.

IP 69 K, ingress resistant to high-pressure

cleaning.

2-wire technology.Direct replacement of Reed switches by

the ifm 2-wire magnetic sensors. 2- and 3-

wire versions with LED display and flexible

mounting options.

Polarity independent.

ifms magnetic sensors: reliable position

sensing irrespective of magnet orienta-

tion, Hall and Reed switches, in turn, are

polarity sensitive.

A GMR element is

made up of ex-

tremely thin mag-

netic layers, each

separated by a

non-magnetic

layer. Without an

external field they

orient in an anti-

parallel manner.

If these layers are

exposed to a mag-

netic field, the

magnetic layers

orient in a parallel

manner, which

results in a large

change in

resistance.

This change is

converted into a

switching signal

by the internal

electronics.

Excellent reliabilityby GMR...

An AMR element

consists of thin

ferromagnetic lay-

ers. Electrical resis-

tance is highest

without external

magnetic fields.

The effect of a

magnetic field

reduces resistance.

This change is con-

verted into a

switching signal by

the internal elec-

tronics. Advan-

tage: This method

enables exact

measurement of

even very small

changes of the

magnetic field

where space is

extremely limited.

This results in a

smaller hysteresis

and a short travel

distance.

The sensor is simply insertedinto the T-slot from the topand kept in place by its self-locking mechanism. Fixing iscompleted by tightening thescrew.

Mount fromthe top.

Conventional sensors:Cable and mounting screw areplaced at opposite ends of thehousing. If the cable is pulled,the sensor can be damaged.

Standard mounting.

-slot cylinder sensors

For industrial applicationsand hygienic and wet areas

For pneumatic cylindersand linear slides.

ifms cylinder sensors are an

excellent choice for low-profile,

flush installation in T-slot cylin-

ders. Using the adapter kits the

T-slot cylinder sensor can be

mounted on other cylinder types,

e.g. clean-line, tie- rod, integra-

ted profile and trapezoidal slot

cylinders.

Powerful performance using

GMR technology: high switching

accuracy and high switching fre-

quency for high travel speeds.

ccessories for T-slot cylinder sensors


Suitable for all commoncylinder types.

Specially developed adapters

make the T-slot cylinder sensor

suitable for all common cylinder

types. The same sensor type is

easy and quick to mount to

clean-line, tie-rod, T-slot, inte-

grated profile or trapezoidal slot

cylinders with only one screw.

Replacement without problem:

The adapters are designed so

that the switch position is main-

tained when the sensors are

replaced. This memory function

eliminates the need for new

adjustments.

Even when adapters are usedthe sensors keep their advan-tages: insertable from thetop, self-locking and offeringstrain relief using the screwat the housing end.

Installation withonly one screw.

Easy to mountaccessories.

sensor can also be used for these

cylinders.

This reduces storage to just a few

sensor types.

User-friendly:

Quick installation of the adapters

Convenient: With its heightof only 5 mm the flush sensorcan be dropped from the topinto all common C-slots.

Flushmounting.


For industrialapplications

For small short-stroke cylin-ders and parallel grippers.

Two variants for reliable

position feedback.

To position and sort very small

parts in automated production

processes even smaller and more

precise parallel grippers and

short-stroke cylinders are

demanded. In most cases C-slot

designs are used.

The two variants of the C-slot

cylinder sensor from ifm with

GMR technology guarantee fault-

free position feedback even in

difficult applications. The flush

version completely disappears in

the slot and is therefore more or

less protected against mechanical

damage. The short C-slot sensor

with a length of 17.5 mm is spe-

cially suited for very small cylin-ders or grippers.

Magnetic sensors


Position andspeed sensing.

ifms magnetic sensors are ideal forfast processes due to their high switch-ing frequency used here for pulseevaluation by sensing a magnet on arotating shaft.

Pulse evaluation.

Application in the food industry: A barmagnet integrated into a silicone pig isdetected through the stainless steelpipe.

Pigging systems.

Magnetic sensors detect the U-tubeposition on a flow plate by sensing themagnet through stainless steel.

Flow plate.

Magnetic sensors from ifm

electronic are used for non-con-

tact sensing of positions, e.g.

toothed wheels and pigs. The

sensors can detect magnets

through materials like stainless

steel, non-ferrous metal, alumin-

ium, plastic and glass.

Due to the GMR technology the

magnetic sensors feature very

long sensing ranges and high

switching frequencies.

The sensors can be supplied in

cylindrical and rectangular hous-

ings with cable or connector and

are therefore flexible in any

application.
