E2 INDUCTIVE SENSORS

W h e n f a i l u re i s n o t a n o p t i o n

Zero tolerance on failure

Small things sometimes have a big impact.

Proximity sensors may be small and relatively

inexpensive, but malfunctions can create big

problems for you and your operation –

in machine downtime, expensive delays and

lost business.

That’s why you can’t take chances even with

the small things. And neither do we! With our

E2 Inductive Proximity Sensor series, we take

a zero-tolerance approach to failure.

Which means we leave nothing to chance.

We design the sensors to withstand the toughest

conditions they’re ever likely to experience

in operation. We manufacture them using the

most tightly-controlled production processes –

with stringent checks at every stage to guarantee

unsurpassed quality and reliability. And we

subject them to the most demanding tests

available to the industry today.

Providing objective proof that the E2 series

is indeed what we claim – the natural choice

when failure is not an option.

E2FM sensorsE2FM sensors

Stainless steel for machine-tool toughness

For demanding environments in, for example, machine tool

equipment, E2FM Stainless Steel sensors are the perfect

choice. Their tough all stainless steel housing is highly

resistant to impact, abrasion and aggressive chemicals

and oils.

They also feature a sensing surface 0.8 mm thick – 4 times

thicker than that of ordinary stainless steel proximity sensors

– making them over 20 times tougher. We’ve proved this

in continuous-impact tests in which ordinary stainless steel

sensors are penetrated after just 10,000 impacts, while

the sensing surfaces of E2FM sensors are still intact even

after 250,000 impacts. The sensors also feature a special

ruggedized cable that’s resistant to welding sputter. So they

will continue operating in the toughest workshop conditions

long after other stainless steel sensors have been consigned

to the recycle bin.

E2FM sensors also require less frequent cleaning than ordinary

sensors thanks to the use of optimised low-frequency pulse-

modulation circuitry that ignores the small metal chips that

build up on the sensing surface during milling and cutting.

So your process can continue running, interrupted only

by your normal cleaning and maintenance cycles.

Anti-microbial housing

Intensive cleaning reduces the risk of food contamination

through bacteria and microbes and ensures highest hygiene.

The anti-microbial housing of the E2F-D provides added

protection against bacteria growth between cleaning cycles

using a silver ion based additive actively inhibiting and

killing bacteria.

Heat and detergent resistant

Ensuring highest hygiene in food processing applications

requires intensive cleaning with high pressure, high

temperatures and aggressive alkaline or acid based

detergents. The high grade 316L stainless steel and the

certified detergent resistance provide an easy-to-clean and

durable housing. The heat resistance up to 120°C make the

E2EH the first choice for usage in demanding environments

in meat processing, cooking or baking applications.

E2AU sensorsE2AU sensors

Keeping moving machinery on the move

E2AU sensors are based on our proven E2A proximity sensor

family, and offer the same exceptional quality and reliability for

which this family has long been renowned.

Intended specifically for demanding applications in moving

machinery such as refuse-disposal trucks, earth-moving

equipment and construction and agricultural vehicles, the

sensors meet and even exceed today’s most severe regulatory

standards for moving vehicles. These include e1 type approval

(eMark) according to the European Automotive Directive

95/54/EC and electro-magnetic noise immunity up to 100 V/m

according to ISO 11452-2.

Their exceptionally rugged construction, including a tough

cable connection, sealing against water and dust to IP69K, and

their resistance to vibration, mechanical shock and temperature

extremes, means these sensors are well able to share the tough

working life and conditions of today’s utility vehicles.

E2AU

Resistant to mechanical abuse. Resistant to electromagnetic

disturbances.

Resistant to vibrations.

E2AX sensors

E2A3 sensorsE2A3 sensors

Triple sensing distance for enhanced reliability

Our E2A3 sensors offer sensing distances up to 3 times the

standard distance defined by CENELEC, greatly reducing the

likelihood of the sensing surface being struck and perhaps

damaged by moving machine parts. Thanks to the use of

optimised sensing circuitry and new sensor geometry, the

sensor is able to send a stop signal to the machine much

earlier than standard- or double-distance sensors without

any compromise to sensor performance.

E2AX sensors

Explosion protection in dusty environments

Intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres

using substances from sawdust to flour, E2AX sensors meet

demanding regulatory requirements governing explosion

protection - including ATEX certification Group II category 3D

(94/9/EG Appendix VIII).

To minimise the possibility of ignition from exposed circuitry,

their robust, hermetic housings are designed to withstand

mechanical shock without fracture, and the sensors also

feature a special retaining bracket to prevent the cable being

detached during operation.

ATEX certification, which is done by an independent

notified body, relates not just to the products but also to

the production facility which must provide a regime of full

traceability in the event that a malfunction occurs leading

to an explosion.

E2AX

The Ball Drop Test is part of the

ATEX approval ensuring high

mechanical protection

of electronic parts.
