IFM Inductive Sensors

Valve monitoring and continuous feedback for efficient plant operation.

Whether temperatures, pressure values, flows or levels: Numerous other process parameters have to be permanently monitored. In industrial process technology valve sensors are one of many pieces of the puzzle. We now offer a wide range of position sensors for these applications.

Our valve sensors meet the requirements of different industries:

• Food industry – The sensors need to be ingress-resistant also during cleaning processes using steam jets. ifm offers IP 68 / IP 69K.
• Water / wastewater – Moisture and dirt do not affect operation.
• Paper processing – Even when they are covered with cellulose pulp beyond recognition, the valve sensors continue to function correctly.
• Mobile machines – Vibration and shock stress as well as temperature differences do not affect the sensors.
• Chemicals – ATEX sensors for hazardous areas.

Reliable Position Feedback for Valve Actuators

• Dual inductive sensor for pneumatic actuators and valves 
• Continuous & Reliable Position Feedback
• Designed for simple fit to common actuators based on VDI / VDE 3845
• The system operates without contact and is absolutely free of wear. Ensuring maximum reliability and a long service life
