Turck announces two extensions of their inductive angle sensors for rotary actuators. One includes a stainless steel Minifast connector and the other, using a terminal chamber, provides customers with ATEX and IECEx approvals.
Utilizing the inductive resonant circuit measuring principle and introducing an innovative open face sensor design for rotary valve sensing, the RI360-DSU opens the door for new potential in valve monitoring on rotary actuators. The RI360-DSU open faced inductive angle sensors deliver analog or discrete outputs and provide flexible mounting options previously not available.
Turck’s RI360-DSU inductive angle sensors are able to monitor quarter turn valves and three-way valves, while also detecting the valve position during cleaning cycles. Additionally, the sensors are capable of detecting the wear of seals, thus saving downtime from seals that are worn from switching cycles. For flexible operation, the sensors are available with switching or analog outputs.
Featuring a protection rating of IP67 and a rugged, compact housing design, the RI360-DSU sensors provide optimal performance in temperatures ranging from -25 to +75 °C (EXI version limited to +70 °C).
