Proximity Sensors
Inductive proximity sensors are the preferred choice for the majority of applications requiring accurate, non-contact detection of metallic objects in machinery or automation equipment.
Capacitive sensors can be used to detect metal objects as well as nearly all other materials. These sensors are often used in applications including level, flow control for detection of liquids, grains and powders.
Magnetic field sensor selection consists of the M12 housing style for traditional magnetic detection applications. Also offered is a non-contact, piston detection sensor for use with steel hydraulic cylinders. These magnetic sensors offer reliable piston magnet detection and are easily mounted, without the need for mounting slots or holes in the cylinder.
Photoelectric Sensors 
Pepperl+Fuchs offers a wide range of photoelectric sensors, fiber optic cables, & accessories. We have the photoelectric sensors you need to keep your applications running. Pepperl+Fuchs with the brand VISOLUX is an innovator of photoelectric sensing technologies. For precise, optical control of positioning, sorting, & counting processes & for custom non-standard applications, look to Pepperl+Fuchs to have the answers for every industry.
Ultrasonic sensors present the ideal solution for non-contact position and distance measurement in all industrial areas where environmental conditions such as dust, smoke or steam may affect the sensors. Objects consisting of a variety of materials can be detected to within millimeters regardless of color or shape. Ultrasonic sensors have proven their reliability and precision in many industries, including lumber and furniture, construction materials and equipment, farming equipment and in level control applications. Pepperl+Fuchs’ ultrasonic sensors currently encompass twelve series of mechanical designs for through-beam, direct detection and retro-reflective operation.
The actuator sensor interface (AS-Interface) with special yellow flat cable supplies power to the sensors and actuators as well as allowing you to transfer data to a maximum of 62 nodes per AS-Interface network. The installation time and costs are much lower compared to conventional wiring technology.
The AS-Interface transfers data reliably, is extremely resistant to electromagnetic interference, has a diagnostic function and can detect faults such as short circuits. Retrofitting the AS-Interface is extremely simple.
Rotary encoders can be used in all applications that require monitoring rotation rate, speed, acceleration and direction. These sensors can be utilized in many applications found in mechanical engineering, the conveyor industry, material handling and the packaging industry. You are certain to find a suitable rotary encoder for your application from our broad product offering.
In automation, rotary encoders are used as sensors for angle, position, speed and acceleration. Linear motion can also be measured through the use of spindles, gear racks, measuring wheels or cable pulls.
Positioning Systems 
Pepperl+Fuchs utilizes different technologies to provide industrial positioning systems for virtually any positioning task. Various industrial positioning systems for high precision detection of linear movements and rotations are available.
- Inductive Positioning Systems
- Distance Measurement Sensors
- Position Encoding System WCS
- Data Matrix Positioning System PCV
- Electronic CAM-Switch Controller PAX
Pepperl+Fuchs Identification Systems make the acquisition of information in production and logistics more cost-efficient, and enhance the quality of the information. You have a constantly updated display of inventory, while benefiting from comprehensive tracking and tracing options. Your access for the control of all material flows is also improved. And because the process data available to you is so accurate, you can continuously improve processes, enabling you to raise the bar in terms of delivery reliab
ility and inventory management.
Our logic control devices provide a multitude of features for use in the automation industry. Frequently, discrete sensor or analog signals need to be conditioned for display or monitoring functions in a process. To help you solve these signal conversion problems, we offer a wide range of indicators, counters/ timers, tachometers and other secondary switching devices, specifically designed for applications and used in conjunction with proximity sensors.
When it comes to signal and discrete pulse control and display, Pepperl+Fuchs offers you a broad line of logic and control products.
Pepperl+Fuchs offers many types of accessories for mounting and connecting all sensor types. These accessories not only save time during initial installation – they also save time and labor when sensors have to be serviced or replaced. And when demanding ambient conditions are present, the right accessory from Pepperl+Fuchs can also significantly increase the operating life of your sensor components.
