RS PRO Plastic Fibre Optic Sensor 500 mm, IP54

RS PRO Fibre Optic Sensors

Introducing the range of RS PRO Fibre Optic Sensors, a versatile and cost-effective sensing solution for a wide range of industrial and automation environments. This high-quality fibre optic sensor offers high tensile strength and a premium quality stainless steel fibre head for optimum performance and measurement accuracy. These sensors are a type of proximity sensor that has an optical fibre connected to a light source to allow detection and monitoring in tight spaces or where a compact and small profile is essential for accurate measurement. These cost-effective optical sensors from RS PRO are ideal for use in a range of environments where high-quality sensing is required.

Features and Benefits:

• The range of RS PRO fibre optic sensors are designed for precision sensing applications thanks to their high tensile strength and high-quality stainless-steel fibre head
• The sensor has been designed for positioning in hard to reach areas, or focusing on small, precise locations for measurement and monitoring
• Thanks to the sensor operating temperature of -55°C to +70°C, there is no freezing to be able to meet the application needs in a variety of environments
• Each sensor has a minimum bend radius of R15 and has a Φ0.5 fibre optic core
• These RS PRO optical cables can be run in existing conduit, cable trays or be strapped onto beams, pipes or conduit and they can be easily installed for expansions or retrofits in a range of applications
• They are ideal for use in harsh environments because they are unaffected by electromagnetic and radio frequency interference from machinery and wireless transmitters, and because they do not carry electrical current, they are also ideal for use in explosive hazard environments

Applications:

• Fibre optic sensors are used in a number of different sensing applications like measuring acceleration, velocity, pressure, temperature and displacement in a range of different environments. Optical technology can be used in a variety of workplaces including:
• Oil Industry
• Gas Industry
• Textiles
• Ships and offshore structures
• Aerospace
