Gettorf – EGE extends its proven series of inductive proximity
switches, adding new IGMO type models which are especially suited for use in
offshore and underwater applications. The units, whose housings are made from
PTFE and stainless steel 1.4571, can be permanently installed in depths up to
300 m and withstand pressure up to 30 bar. The sensor cable is longitudinally
water blocked: even in case of damage to the cable sheath or a complete cut
through the cable, water will not intrude into the sensor or the control
enclosure.
The sensors are suited for ambient temperatures between -25 and
+70 °C. They are available as M12, M18 and M30 versions.
Figure: Even when cut in two, the cable will
not turn into a hosepipe:
