IRC Series inductive sensors with a rotatable head

Carlo Gavazzi has launched the IRC40 range of sensors. It’s 5-position rotatable head provides accurate and reliable detection of actuating parts in applications such as conveyor systems, materials handling, agriculture and escalators.

The IRC40 is offered in a 40x40mm rectangular housing with IP69 enclosure rating protects against any water and moisture penetration during the washing cycle and provide an extended sensing distance up to 40mm, making it highly suited to conveyor systems. And operating temperature range from -25°C to +80°C provides a consistent and reliable operating performance.

The push unlock mounting system presents an easy and flexible installation whilst the LEDs on all four corners ensure excellent visibility from all directions providing status monitoring for diagnostic functions in the event of a short-circuit or overload, switching and operating status. Shielded or unshielded versions are available with output configurations (NO+NC), NPN or PNP.

The new IRC40 series of sensors complement the company's industrial control and automation offerings for Conveyor systems, Materials handling, agriculture, logistics centres, escalators and product lines. All IRC40 sensors are approved by CE, UKCA, UL.
