Had to replace a lamp, but the same was no longer available. Great advice, found a suitable replacement and delivered it quickly.

Balluff Sensors for Industry and Automation

Balluff GmbH from Neuhausen auf den Fildern is one of Germany's leading manufacturers of sensors for factory automation. The range at WATT24 covers typical sensing tasks on machines and systems: inductive sensors for non-contact metal detection, magnetic field sensors for end-position detection on pneumatic cylinders, and mechanical limit and snap-action switches for robust switching tasks.

  Installer's tip: For end-position detection on pneumatic cylinders, a magnetic field sensor is often the more durable alternative to a mechanical limit switch: it operates contactlessly and is therefore not subject to mechanical wear. In environments with strong external magnetic fields, such as near large motors or welding equipment, a mechanical switch can be the more reliable choice.

FAQ: Balluff

What does Balluff manufacture?

Balluff GmbH from Neuhausen auf den Fildern develops sensors and connectors for industry and automation: inductive sensors, magnetic field sensors, limit switches, snap-action switches and matching connectors and connection accessories.

What is a Balluff magnetic field sensor?

A magnetic field sensor detects the field of a permanent magnet and is frequently used for end-position detection on pneumatic cylinders. Unlike mechanical limit switches, it operates contactlessly and is therefore wear-free.

What is the difference between a limit switch and an inductive sensor?

A limit switch is actuated mechanically through direct contact with the target object. An inductive sensor detects metallic objects contactlessly using an electromagnetic field, making it lower-wear and more practical for many applications.

Which Balluff products are available at WATT24?

WATT24 stocks Balluff sensors (inductive and magnetic), limit switches, snap-action switches, and connectors and plugs for sensor wiring.
