BALLUFF BGL005A INTRODUCTION
Baluff small BGL MiniSlot series fork sensors in a plastic housing are ideal for use in various automation applications where normal photoelectronic sensors are too large to fit. Thanks to their particularly compact size, they require significantly less installation space than conventional fork sensors. In addition, six different designs and a wide variety of connection options make the sensors even more flexible to use.
The sensors are fully potted, which makes them resistant to vibrations, shocks and other environmental influences, and guarded with an IP64 protection rating. The bright LEDs also indicate the operating status and allow you to accurately read its diagnostics.
You can also find the BGL005R and BGL005F models in the BALLUFF Fork Sensors Plastic.
