Magnetic Sensors  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Today SIKO sums up five decades of experience in length, angle and speed measurement technology. Building upon this core competence, SIKO develops and manufactures groundbreaking products for automation and drive engineering. The highest demands of our industrial and machine engineering customers lead to quality, precision and functionality of our products and services.
SIKO is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 : 2008. Sustainable resource management is a matter of course for us.

Magnetic field sensors are used in particular for the contactless detection of the piston position in pneumatic cylinders. Due to a patented operating principle, TURCK's magnetic field sensors offer the possibility of faultless detection of permanent magnets of different strengths attached to the piston in all common cylinder shapes. The sensors are wear-free, short-circuit-proof and robust in protection class IP67. Solutions are also available for use in welding or Ex areas as well as for analog queries.

Balluff is a medium-sized company. Family-run for four generations, it was founded in Neuhausen on the Filder near Stuttgart and has grown into a world-oriented, leading global player. It is a company with tradition and customer relationships established over years, which acts simultaneously as an important partner in innovations and as a pacesetter for its customers.
Our company opened up to the global market very early on. Today, Balluff is no longer just at home in Neuhausen, but also has a presence in Europe, Asia, North and South America, and in all other important markets. We have a presence in 68 countries worldwide. This is so we can understand and assist our customers better and be able to provide them exactly what they need: high-quality sensor, identification and networking solutions as well as software for holistic system solutions in every area of automation.
When it comes to quality we have our own particular ideas. We call it Balluff Quality – a higher standard which goes beyond applicable official standards, not only in production but also in consulting and services.
Our clients also feel that special commitment when we assist them – fulfill their requirements, accept their challenges and develop forward-thinking technologies for them. Because we know that if our clients are perfectly equipped for the future, then so are we.

mainSENSOR
is based on an innovative measuring principle, which has been developed by
Micro-Epsilon in order to combine the advantages of both inductive and magnetic
sensors. For the measuring, the magnet is fixed to the measuring object. The
movement of the magnet results in a change of the magnetic flux within the
sensor element, which is detected by a sensor coil. Due to countervailing
physical effects in the sensor, a linear relationship between the displacement
and output signal is achieved. As different strength magnets are applied, measuring
ranges of up to 55mm can be realized. However, for changing measurement set up,
it is only necessary to change the magnet. As well as distance and displacement
measurement, the sensor can be used for rotational speed measurements of axes
or toothed racks.
Due to
their flexible concept, the sensors are ideal for a wide range of applications,
particularly where high volumes are required. The standard sensors are designed
in a stainless steel M12, M18 and M30 or a flat plastic housing suitable for
industrial applications. The integrated evaluation electronics is situated on a
compact PCB. In high volume production, customer-specific modifications to the
PCB and sensor housing can be easily implemented.
