The Microsonic MIC range of ultrasonic sensors have been used by Ace Assembly Systems to solve the problem of product damage when transferring from their Platen System conveyor to packing cases
This is the right sensor wherever the cylinders are subjected to high temperatures, such as hydraulic cylinders on high temperature injection moulds or other high performance hydraulic systems whose hydraulic fluids can reach high temperatures.
The model BHS B135V-PSD15-S04-T01 sensor features both a normally open switching output and an integrated temperature sensor for detecting the cylinder temperature.
The measured temperature is provided as a voltage value (1-5.5V) on a separate analog output.
With a length of 78mm in a standard M12 housing, the sensor can also be retrofitted for temperature monitoring functions on hydraulic cylinders with piston position sensing.
A combination O-ring/support ring seals the area between the pressurized and pressureless area.
The nominal switching distance is 1.5mm at an ambient temperature of up to 120 deg C.
