Proximity switches with enhanced resistance to water vapor

The IGMW series was specifically designed for use in processes with regular high-pressure cleaning as well as in washing bays and cooking processes. The climate-change-resistant, specially sealed sensors have a stainless-steel housing and a PTFE cap and are suitable for food processes. Featuring an IP68/IP69k rating, they can withstand both submersion and repeated high-pressure cleaning with water or steam. The sensors operate reliably at ambient temperatures between -25 °C and 120 °C, even with frequent temperature fluctuations combined with high humidity. They are available in M12, M18 and M30 designs with a 2-meter FEP cable and in customized designs.

EGE also supplies climatic proofed inductive proximity switches for cleaning processes, washing bays, food and paper manufacturing processes (IGMF tropical series) and applications where sensors are repeatedly flushed with roller emulsion (IGFW, INFW). The series has proven itself for over 40 years and has been constantly improved and adapted. For example, the manufacturer has recently added a sensor in M8 design with an increased sensing distance (IGMF 202 GSP). The proximity switches withstand frequent temperature changes, flooding, vibrations and high-pressure cleaning without any problems. Their chemical resistance and tightness exceed the requirements in industry standards.
