Baumer Electric Sensors are among the best available. Now, the inductive outdoor sensors IFRR (proximity switches) and IWRR (distance -measuring sensors) by Baumer have passed the latest corrosion tests with flying colors. Both sensors meet the requirements of the highest corrosiveness category C5-M. Both sensors are therefore ideally suited to use in demanding ambient conditions at sea or on the coast, e.g. in wind power stations.
Digital inductive sensors are mainly used to detect the nacelle position and the rotor speed. Measuring sensors are applied for monitoring the brakes and the shaft deflection. To meet the requirements of the maximum corrosiveness category C5-M, the sensors were subjected to a 1440-hour or 60-day salt spray test in accordance with ISO 9227, followed by a 720-hour condensation-water resistance test in accordance with ISO 6270. The results show that these inductive sensors meet the highest corrosion resistance demands, and Baumer can guarantee a very long service life for its products. For all of your
sensing needs, including photoelectric proximity sensors, call

Pepperl + Fuchs has expanded its
ML4.2 Series of subminiature photoelectric sensors with new models offering faster response times, multibeam redundant detection, independent outputs, and zero deadband sensing. High-speed models offer 250 µs response time. Other models include dual-sensor redundant detection models, dual-sensor redundant detection and independent output models, precise sensing models, a retroreflective sensing model with no sensing deadband, and throughbeam sensors. All nonthroughbeam sensors feature integrated crosstalk immunity, 4-in-1 output, high immunity to ambient light, and diagnostic LEDs.
These sensors are perfect for applications that require more signal strength than is available with background suppression sensors, and sense at either very close or long sensing distances.
They can be used when rigid reflectors or even reflective tape must be detected up to the sensor face, as a standard retro-reflective mode sensor would typically not see reflective tape unless it were two to four inches from the sensor.
They are also well suited for detecting objects such as solar cell wafers and packaged tubes or cartons where precise and repeatable leading edge detection is a must.
As one of the Midwest's largest Pepperl & Fuchs distributors, we can help you with all of your photoelectric needs. Whether you need transparent object detection or a long-range through-beam sensor with light on/or dark on, we can help.

Power-supply manufacturer Carlo Gavazzi recently released a series of switching devices the company deems "economically friendly," the RMD Hybrid Relays. The product provides mercury-free switching, designed for controlling heating elements inside of food ovens, warmers, fryers, rotisseries and other food equipment. It's capable of switching up to 20 cycles per minute, with a 4 million electrical cycle life expectancy. 
The RMD Series combines solid-state technology and electromechanical relays to provide a hybrid relay. This means that there is virtually no contact arcing, which results in prolonged relay life and much less emission inside of the panel. Another benefit of hybrid technology is a full amperage rating at elevated operational temperatures. While most conventional switching devices are rated at 25-40 degrees Celsius, the RMD Hybrid Relays are fully rated up to 60 degrees Celsius. The RMD3H switches heaters on three legs while the RMD2H is a lower-cost alternative, as it switches two poles and the third pole is directly connected between L2 and T2. Additional technical features include:
- Two- (for single and three phase circuits) and three-pole arrangements
- Rated for 4 million electrical cycles
- Rated for up to 20 cycles per minute
- Two output voltage ratings: 240VAC (VL-L) and 277VAC (VL-N – 480VAC with Neutral)
- Three common control voltages: 24VAC, 120VAC, 240VAC
- Two amperage ratings: 30A up to 70 degrees Celsius, 40A up to 60 degrees Celsius
- Similar mounting to Mercury Displacement Contactors
- Mercury-free, RoHS compliant, cRUus recognized
