Inductive Factor 1 Sensors.
Constant distance towards any metal
Inductive Factor 1 sensors offer the great benefit of maintaining
the same sensing distance towards all metals. Unlike standard
­
s
­ ensors where this value changes, depending on the material.­
The benefits of Factor 1 sensors are obvious: This uniform distance­
offers outstanding flexibility in system conception and sensor
i
­nstallation. Contrary to conventional sensors, Factor 1 sensors
feature ­ nhanced sensing distance towards many different metals.
e
Hence, they are even perfect for applications with variable objects.
Your benefit

Utmost flexibility in construction and installation

Uniform, large sensing distance towards any metal

Shorter installation times, thanks to minimal
adaptation effort

Eased alignment thanks to large sensing distance

Reduced sensor variety – the same sensor will match
­different applications

Factor 1 sensors and standard sensors in comparison
Towards a steel object, the sensing distance of both standard and Factor 1 sensor is the same. With aluminium, it is reduced
to 40 % and even down to 30 % with copper at standard products, whereas Factor 1 sensors provide 100%.
