Sensors provide important information for almost all areas of industrial automation, such as digital and analog signals on positions, currents, flow rates, temperatures, distances, and angles. As a co-founder and pioneer of modern sensor technology, we offer the appropriate range of products for these purposes. You can choose from more than 5,000 proximity switches, photoelectric, flow and position sensors to implement your made-to-measure solutions.

Inductive sensors detect metal objects contactless and wear-free. For this, they use a high-frequency electromagnetic AC field that interacts with the target. Their strengths are the enormous durability, reliability, high switching frequencies and a long service life. Through a unique coil concept the uprox sensors offer the highest switching distance, factor 1 for all metals and, right from the start, the highest operational safety through simple and safe installation.

Capacitive sensors work contactless, reactionless and wear-free. Thanks to their high sensitivity and the ability to detect electrically conductive as well as non-conductive objects, they can be used in many different applications. They even detect levels of liquids or solids. In addition to position measurement, further important application areas are overflow protection, dry run protection of pumps and leakage detection.

Magnetic field sensors are used in particular for contactless detection of the piston position in pneumatic cylinders. Using an electronic operating principle, our magnetic field sensors detect permanent magnets of different strength attached to the piston in all common cylinders error-free. The sensors operate wear-free, are short-circuit proof, rugged and IP67 rated. We also offer solutions for use in welding or hazardous areas as well as for analog queries.

Pressure is one of the most commonly measured values in industry. Whether on presses, cooling circuits or storage tanks — pressure that needs to be monitored and measured can be found everywhere. The extensive product portfolio of pressure sensors from Turck offers solutions for industrial applications and mobile equipment. Various different process connections, output signals and a huge variety of pressure ranges mean that the ideal sensor can be found for any application. Pressure sensors from the PS510 and PS310 product series have smart IO-Link functions, making them ideal for meeting the requirements of Industry 4.0.

Our product portfolio guarantees maximum flexibility for temperature measurement.
The new series TS+ temperature sensors ensure reliable and reproducible measurement of process temperatures in industrial applications. The large number of different measuring ranges and process connections offers a wide variety of options that allows most applications to be implemented without any problems. In addition to the compact temperature sensors, compact analysis and display units can also be connected to separate temperature probes. The devices support and recognize almost all standard industry temperature probes, such as resistance thermometers or thermocouples, in fully automated processes. Without mechanical controls, the stainless steel housing is subject to minimum levels of wear. The reduced number of sealing surfaces provides maximum protection against moisture and dust penetrating the inside of the device. In summary, the series TS+ temperature sensors offer customized solutions through simple programmability, flexible process connections and displays as well as a rugged design.

Flow monitoring is a procedure that demands a reliable and reproducible surveillance of limit values and flow patterns. Flow sensors detect critical deviations of the flow rate of liquid and gaseous media. Typical areas of application are the monitoring of cooling circuits in welding applications for example, protection against dry running of pumps, as well as the flow monitoring in air ducts and air conditioning equipment. Because of the calorimetric mode the media temperature is also monitored.

Users can utilize the respective advantages of different measuring principles for level detection or continuous level measurement. This depends on factors such as whether granular media or liquids where foam forms on the surface are used. Similarly, special solutions are required for mounting in confined spaces, in areas with explosion protection and in particularly deep containers.
