AutomationDirect has the proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors and limit switches you need to
sense the presence of objects in a variety of applications. Our high-quality line of proximity switches and limit switches come from high-tech European manufacturers with years of experience developing and supplying reliable industrial sensors. IP69K sensors rated for harsh duty / food and beverage proximity sensor applications. The food and beverage industry is one of the harshest environments for automation components such as sensors. High pressure and high temperature water and chemicals can penetrate or corrode almost any sensor housing, causing premature failures. Our IP69K-rated sensors and harsh duty quick connection cables all meet the stringent demands of the IP69K test standards and have been tested to ensure proper chemical compatibility during their use in these harsh environments. ProSense™ electronic pressure switches and pressure transmitters offer reliable low-cost alternatives to traditional mechanical pressure sensors. ProSense™ temperature sensors, switches and transmitters provide accurate and reliable feedback in temperature control
and monitoring applications. AcuAMP™ high performance AC and DC current sensors offer outstanding features, flexibility and durability at incredible prices. Choose from a wide selection of current transducers and current switches. Our industrial limit switches feature popular actuator styles and a wide variety of cable entry options. AutomationDirect offers a wide variety of light, medium and heavy-duty encoders (optical transducers). Use these encoders with our PLC high-speed counter modules for accurate position monitoring and motion control. |
