Turck QP08 factor-1 sensor

The QP08 is the latest member of the ferrite-core-free uprox+ family from Turck. The compact factor-1 sensor offers a high EMV and magnetic field stability, as well as ultimate switching distances for all metals. The non-flush sensor in a plastic housing is designed for use in cramped spaces with little place for the installation, eg, in the installation and handling industry or in packaging machines.

Because in this area of application aluminium is usually used as target material, the sensor is claimed to reach up to 300% higher switching distances, compared to customary sensors.

The sensor has a compact housing (32 x 20 x 8 mm, a switching distance of 10 mm and can be installed directly onto metal. The boreholes are compatible with all Q08 and similar designs. Large, curved LEDs at the sensor show the user the operational readiness and the switching state of the QP08 at any time - from the top view and from the side. Due to the directly overmoulded electronics, the compact proximity switch of the protection category IP67 is also insensitive towards dirt and moisture.
