Traditional sensors have been generally too large for use in applications where space is in short supply. Baumer has increased the sensing distance of its IFRM04/05 series of inductive sensors by 60 per cent. And even the smallest sensor of this series—at 4 mm in diameter and 20 mm long—has an integrated electronic circuit, making it ideal for use in the most compact of applications. With 1.6mm, it also offers a large sensing distance for sensors with greater than a 1 kHz switching frequency. The Baumer Group
