German Proxitron sensors, Proxitron models, Proxitron prices

Proxitron sensors are a general term for sensors designed to detect objects without contact, replacing contact-based detection methods such as limit switches. They convert information about the movement and presence of an object into electrical signals. Detection methods that convert to electrical signals include those utilizing eddy currents generated in the metallic body of the detection object due to electromagnetic induction, those detecting capacitance changes in the electrical signal caused by the approach of the detected body, and those using reed and guide switches.

Proxitron sensor classification

Load cells are divided by conversion method into 8 types, including photoelectric, hydraulic, electromagnetic force, capacitive, magnetic pole variation, vibratory, gyroscopic, and resistive strain gauge types, with resistive strain gauge being the most widely used. 1) Photoelectric type: Includes grating and code disk types. Grating sensors use Moiré fringes formed by gratings to convert angular displacement into photoelectric signals. There are two gratings: one fixed grating and one moving grating mounted on the dial shaft. The object being measured on the weighing platform rotates the dial shaft via a force transmission lever system, driving the moving grating to rotate and causing the Moiré fringes to move. Using a phototube, conversion circuit, and display instrument, the number of moved Moiré fringes can be calculated to measure the angle of grating rotation, thereby determining and reading the mass of the object. Code disk sensors: A code disk (symbol plate) is a piece of transparent glass mounted on the dial shaft, featuring black and white codes arranged according to a specific encoding method. When the object on the weighing platform rotates the dial shaft via the force transmission lever, the code disk also rotates by a certain angle. A photocell receives the light signal passing through the code disk and converts it into an electrical signal, which is then digitally processed by the circuit, finally displaying the number representing the measured mass on the display. Photoelectric sensors were mainly used in electromechanical combination scales. 2) Hydraulic type: When subjected to the gravity P of the measured object, the pressure of the hydraulic oil increases, with the degree of increase proportional to P. By measuring the increase in pressure, the mass of the object can be determined. Hydraulic sensors are simple in structure and robust, with a large measurement range, but accuracy generally does not exceed 1/100. 3) Capacitive type: It operates based on the proportional relationship between the oscillation frequency f of the capacitor oscillator circuit and the distance d between the plates. There are two plates, one fixed and the other movable. When the measured object is loaded onto the weighing platform, the leaf spring deflects, changing the distance between the two plates, which in turn changes the oscillation frequency of the circuit. Measuring the change in frequency allows calculation of the mass of the object on the weighing platform. Capacitive sensors consume little power, have low cost, and an accuracy of 1/200 to 1/500.

Proxitron sensor features

Resistors, inductors, and capacitors are the three major types of passive components in electronics. A capacitive sensor is a sensor that converts changes in the measured quantity into changes in capacitance; it is essentially a capacitor with variable parameters. Capacitive sensors have the following advantages: high impedance, low power, requiring only very low input energy. They can achieve large changes, resulting in high signal-to-noise ratio and system stability. Fast dynamic response, with operating frequencies up to several megahertz, suitable for b contact measurement, whether the measured object is a conductor or semiconductor. Simple structure, strong adaptability, capable of working in harsh environments such as high/low temperatures and strong radiation, with wide application. With the development of electronic technology and computer technology, the disadvantages of capacitive sensors, such as susceptibility to interference and distributed capacitance, have been continuously overcome, and capacitive grid displacement sensors and integrated capacitive sensors have been developed. Therefore, they are widely used in non-electrical quantity measurement and automatic detection, capable of measuring parameters such as pressure, displacement, speed, acceleration, A degree, thickness, liquid level, humidity, vibration, and component content. Capacitive sensors have good development prospects.

Proxitron sensor installation precautions

1) Handle load cells with care, especially small-capacity sensors using aluminum alloy as the elastic body, as any impact or drop caused by vibration is likely to cause significant output errors. 2) When designing the loading device and during installation, ensure that the axis of the applied load coincides with the force-bearing axis of the load cell to minimize the effects of tilted and eccentric loads. 3) Regarding level adjustment. If using a load cell, its base mounting plane must be adjusted with a spirit level until horizontal; if multiple sensors are measuring simultaneously, their base mounting surfaces should be kept as level as possible, primarily to ensure that the force borne by each sensor is basically consistent. 4) Determine the rated load of the sensor used based on the load cell capacity selection in its instructions. 5) To prevent chemical corrosion, apply Vaseline to the outer surface of the load cell during installation. Avoid direct sunlight and environments with drastic temperature changes. 6) Connect bypasses made of copper braid to both ends of the load cell loading device. 7) Do not extend the cable yourself; if extension is absolutely necessary, solder at the joints and add moisture-proof sealant. 8) It is best to use baffles to cover the sensor around the load cell. This prevents debris from falling into the moving parts of the sensor, affecting its measurement accuracy. 9) The sensor's cable should be kept away from high-power power lines or places with pulse waves. If avoidance is impossible, the load cell cable should be run separately through an iron pipe, and the connection distance should be shortened as much as possible. 10) Determine the rated load of the sensor used based on the load cell capacity selection in its instructions. Although load cells have a certain overload capacity, such situations should be avoided during installation and use. Sometimes short-term overloading can cause permanent damage to the sensor. 11) For high-precision applications, the load cell and instrument should be used after preheating for 30 minutes.
