Inductive Cylindrical sensors Stainless Steel Series

Datasensing Stainless Steel Series

The Stainless Steel Series offers premium inductive sensing performance in fully stainless-steel bodies, engineered to thrive in the most demanding industrial environments. With versions offering very short sensing distances (~0.8 mm) up to extended ranges (~20 mm) and housings from mini to large thread sizes, these sensors deliver exceptional durability, corrosion resistance and versatile mounting.

Design & Functionality

• The series uses full stainless-steel housings (AISI series or equivalent) that provide excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for aggressive environments, wash-down zones and metal-rich manufacturing areas. 
• Nominal sensing distances span from ~0.8 mm (in ultra-compact models) to ~20 mm (in large-thread models), enabling detection of very small metal parts or larger targets depending on application. 
• Available in thread sizes ranging from M4/M5/M8 up to M12/M18/M30—giving designers flexibility in choosing form-factor that fits tight mounting spaces or standard industrial fixtures.
• Built with protective features such as reverse-polarity protection, short-circuit auto-reset, rugged housing and high IP/IK ratings, ensuring industrial-grade reliability even under vibration, shock, coolant, oil or chemical exposure. 

Total Crossed Beams

(In this inductive sensor context, this concept translates to a uniform and stable detection field across the sensor’s active face rather than literal optical beams.)

• The Stainless Steel Series maintains a consistent sensing zone, even when mounted with limited clearance or when targets are mis-aligned or presented at different angles.
• This ensures repeatable detection performance, reducing false triggers or missed detections in challenging industrial setups.

Beam Pitch Options

(Here interpreted as selectable sensing distances/resolutions rather than literal beam spacing.)

• Models include ultra-short versions (~0.8 mm) for micro-parts, up to ~4 mm, and extended ranges (~10–20 mm) for larger metal parts or less-precise mountings. 
• High repeat accuracy (typically < 3%) and well-controlled thermal drift ensure stable performance across temperatures and mounting conditions. 

Intrinsic Synchronism

• The series includes integrated electronics, meaning no extra synchronisation wiring is required; the sensor is ready shortly after power-up and provides a stable output cycle.
• Designed for fast industrial use with minimal setup time and robust signal integrity even in harsh conditions.

Operational Advantages

• Full Stainless-Steel Durability: The housing enables use in harsh, corrosive, wash-down or high-shock environments—keeping sensor performance dependable under tough conditions.
• Flexible Sensing & Mounting Options: With a broad range of sizes and sensing distances, you can match the sensor to your mounting space, target size and clearance.
• Reliable Metal Detection: The stable field, accurate repeatability and robust build make this series ideal for metalworking, intralogistics, packaging lines and industrial automation where metal target detection, rugged mounting, and industrial protection are essential.
• Applications: Suitable for metal-working machining centers, conveyors in aggressive manufacturing environments, wash-down food & beverage zones, robotics end-effectors, high-corrosion or high-shock environments where sensor durability and detection reliability cannot be compromised.
