Small-Scale Barrel Sensors

TURCK has announced the addition of new 4 mm and 5 mm barrel sensors to its existing lineup. The new EG05K and EH04K are 15 mm shorter than the standard EG05 and EH04, which allow the new offerings to be used in applications previously not possible. These more compact sensors are designed to benefit the stamping industry, medical device manufacturing and any application where small sensors are a requirement.

According to the company, the EG05K and EH04K are housed in a stainless steel barrel and come with a high flex TPU cable designed to withstand harsh applications, including those involving corrosive chemicals. Offering a 1 mm sensing range and full flush mounting, the EG05K and EH04K reduce the chance of damage while still offering the needed sensing range. The EG05K and EH04K come equipped with a high visibility LED to provide users a visual indication of the sensor's status.

"We created the EG05K and EH04K in response to hearing customers request a solution that met the increasingly compact requirements brought on by the shrinking size of machinery," said John Murphy, Product Manager for TURCK. "These new additions provide our customers with the shortest M4 and M5 sensors on the market while retaining the robust qualities our customers expect from TURCK."

The EH04K is available in 2 meters of potted cable, while the EG05K is available in 2 meters of potted cable or with an integral M8 connector. The sensors are IP67 rated, have an operating temperature range from -25 °C to 70 °C, and offer PNP and NPN configurations for increased application flexibility.
