Rugged, Food/Beverage Sensors

April 1, 2011
Two families of sensors are designed to withstand high-pressure and high-temperature washdowns, while offering resistance to corrosion and damage caused by harsh cleansing agents used in the food-and-beverage industry.

The Photoswitch 42CS photoelectric and 871TS inductive sensor families feature stainless steel construction, extended temperature ratings and IP69K enclosure ratings. The 42CS sensor family offers a choice of a smooth or threaded 18mm 316L stainless steel housing with a hard plastic lens for enhanced reliability and long service life. The 871TS inductive proximity sensors feature a stainless steel 316L barrel and an FDA-certified polyphenylene sulfide plastic face to protect against chemicals and other corrosive agents. They are offered in 12mm and 18mm diameter threaded cylindrical enclosures.
