TURCK QR24 sensor for demanding applications

TURCK has expanded its QR24 line of contactless rotary position sensors to include a version with stainless steel housing.

Available in SSI or with incremental outputs, and equipped with 316 stainless steel housing, the variant is built to withstand harsh environments such as those involving chemicals or high-pressure water sprays.

The stainless steel sensor features a fully potted and sealed IP69K/IP68-rated housing to protect against moisture and dust. It also offers flexible parameterisation via IO Link or easyteach, allowing the sensor to adapt to specific application requirements.

The sensor provides users with contactless position detection, executing the same functions but without the need for contact or bearings.

The sensors incorporate precisely manufactured printed emitter and receiver coil systems. The emitter coils are activated with a high-frequency AC field and produce an inductive RLC circuit with the positioning element. The element is inductively coupled with the receiver coils, which are arranged so different voltages are induced in the coils, depending on the position of the actuator. The voltages serve as a measure for the sensor signal.
