Norstat Offers Inductive Sensors for Harsh Environments

NorstatFM FMM 400x275

July 19, 2021

Norstat has announced it is now offering a line of inductive proximity sensors with full stainless steel housings and sensing faces that make them ideal for harsh environments.

The FME (M8 plug cable exit) and FMM (M12 plug cable exit) series of inductive proximity sensors come standard with a full AISI 316L stainless steel housing and sensing face, which makes them useful for applications where a sensor with a higher degree of protection is required, said Norstat. The FME and FMM lines are available with nominal sensing distances of 2 mm for the FME and 3 mm for the FMM, and operating distances of 1.62 mm for the FME and 2.43 mm for the FMM. Both series come standard with LED indication for output status, Norstat added.

The connectors are available with PNP or NPN output logic and NO, NO+NC, or NC Output state. Both sensors are shock- and vibration-resistant to IEC 60947-5-2, have an impact resistance rating of IK 05, an ambient operating temperature range of -25C to +70C, and carry a protection rating of IP67, IP68 and IP69K.
