The IDKW 120 GSP series by EGE is a lien of sealed inductive proximity switches. The unit is manufactured specifically for environments requiring daily cleaning tasks with hot steam.
This is also useful for applications in the food industry. The switch can be used directly in washers, ensuring no damage. The inductive proximity switch has a performing distance of 90 mm, suitable for applications with constant ambient temperatures of 110°C.
It is designed according to IP68 standard, with a waterproof rating up to 3 bar and resistance to climate change. The unit has a long service duration, even when exposed to changes in temperature and humidity.
The unit has a bearing rating of IP69K, enabling cleaning with pressure washers. In addition, the sensor's sturdy polypropylene casing withstands usual alkaline and acidic cleaning solvents.
Inductive proximity switches
EGE offers special inductive proximity switches for special applications. Focus is on TROPICAL switches which exceed IP 69K with a temperature range up to +120 °C and is optimally suited for corrosive environments. High temperature switches up to 160 °C are also offerd. Other hot area sensors can be used in temperatures up to 250 °C. The lower end of the temperature scale is at -60 °C and applies to the POLAR switches. Large switching distances up to 170 mm and sensors resistant to rolling oils made from PTFE, PP or PEEK are also available for the food industry. Intrinsically safe ex-classified sensors according to ATEX and compact dust-EX and gas-EX sensors complete the product program.
