Mechanical limit stops from ipf

Extremely precise and robust

The trend in automation is clearly moving towards contactless detection. Nevertheless, there are always applications in which mechanical solutions cannot be dispensed with due to various environmental conditions. Mechanical limit value sensors are often used here, but due to their specific design, they are only compatible to a limited extent during installation.

Instead, the mechanical limit stops from ipf electronic are recommended as a real alternative.

With these metal top adapters for the inductive sensors of the IB06, IB09 and IB12 can be used to solve robust small queries in a very simple and reliable way. They usually consist of a metric metal sleeve in the M8 and M12 designs, which can be attached using a thread or a solution from ipf electronic's range of accessories. The corresponding inductive sensor can then be adapted using a suitable holder or bracket.

The stop tappet itself contains an axially movable steel bolt with a spring return mechanism, the end face of which is also hardened for increased wear resistance. As the stroke of the steel bolt is limited, "collision" with the active sensor surface and thus damage to the detector coil is prevented.

The mechanical limit stops from ipf electronic have a very high repeatability and are extremely precise with a switching point accuracy of ±0.01mm. The range also includes solutions with blind holes to allow the actuating element to be varied.
