Our 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.

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, and counting processes and for custom non-standard applications, look to Pepperl+Fuchs to have the answers for every application.

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.

Rotary encoders convert a mechanical input into electrical signals, which can be processed by counters, tachometers, programmable logic controllers and industrial PCs.

Pepperl+Fuchs utilizes different technologies to provide industrial positioning systems for virtually any positioning task. Our product range includes:
Inductive Positioning Systems
Distance Measurement Sensors
Position Encoding System WCS
Data Matrix Positioning System PCV
Electronic CAM-Switch Controller PAX


Inductive Positioning Systems
Various industrial positioning systems for high precision detection of linear movements and rotations are available. Our inductive positioning systems are resistant to external contamination. Need to connect your controller? Our inductive positioning systems  provide configurable outputs and data interfaces.Distance Measurement Devices
Distance measurement sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs use the optical concept of Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT). With modern PRT, distances to 300 m with accuracies of 0.1 mm are easily achieved.

Position Encoding System WCS
For positioning over longer travel paths, the position encoding system WCS excels in systems with curves, switchpoints, inclines, or declines. With measurement lengths to 327 m, WCS is suitable for position detection in warehousing, material handling and automated conveyor systems, crane positioning, elevators, and much more...Data Matrix Positioning System PCV
The Data Matrix Positioning System uses Data Matrix codes, which are arranged side by side on a code reel as an information carrier. The reading head, based on modern camera technology, captures these two-dimensional codes and evaluates the exact position in X- and Y directions - up to 10,000 meters.Electronic CAM-Switch Controller PAX
PAX is a non-contact electronic CAM-Switch Controller and is used with the PMI inductive angle sensor. Easily capture machine shaft position without expensive, time-consuming mechanical cams! Configure up to 14 switch outputs and 6 analog outputs via the intuitive, integrated software.

Distance measurement is a fundamental sensing technology.
A wide variety of processes have been used to address different types of distance sensing applications. Pepperl+Fuchs now - in contrast to our competitors – offers a complete sensor family based entirely on the superior Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT). Customers will no longer have to rely on the phase correlation method or other similar chip-based processes. The advantages of such processes - moderate costs and acceptable levels of accuracy- have now been replaced by PRT.

The modern Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) delivers better parameters at a lower cost. Long range, accuracy, insensitivity to extraneous light, and attractive pricing combine to make an irresistible package. Concentrating on a single technology means Pepperl+Fuchs is the first supplier to offer the advantage of rapid and lower-cost developments. The Pepperl+Fuchs portfolio includes the following PRT distance measurement sensors:

Distance measurement sensors and distance sensors

VDM28 Distance Sensor
The new, small VDM28 distance sensor uses Pulse Ranging Technology (PRT) to move it to the front of the market ahead of all comparable devices from a performance point of view. It is integrated into a compact housing from the standard series 28 sensor range. The universal VDM28 distance sensor can be used in a wide range of industries and applications.

VDM54 Distance Sensor
The function of this special sensor is to measure the distance between two rail-mounted vehicles, primarily on overhead conveyors (EHB). Its large horizontal and vertical sensing range tracks the movement of the vehicles and returns reliable measurement results.

VDM70 Distance Measurement Sensor
The measured values are transmitted via various integrated standard interfaces. Typical applications are simple measurement and positioning tasks.

VDM100 Distance Measurement Sensor
The VDM100 distance measurement sensors are well-suited for larger distances up to 300 m. The repeat accuracy of all the devices in the range is 0.5 mm, with a resolution of 0.1 mm. SSI and fieldbuses are used as measured value interfaces. The sensors are used to position stock feeders to within a millimeter.
