Baumer’s inductive marine sensors are specifically designed for use in challenging environments. These sensors already hold the required DNVGL-CG-0339 certification for marine applications, which simplifies the development process for onshore and offshore system manufacturers by minimizing planning efforts. This pre-certification streamlines sensor selection and significantly reduces the effort needed to meet M.E.D. requirements (Marine Equipment Directive 96/98/EC).

Thanks to their enhanced resistance to salt air, saltwater, high vibrations, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), these inductive proximity switches are highly durable and meet the strictest industry standards for maritime equipment, such as harbor cranes, wind power plants, or marine propulsion systems. To ensure reliability and guarantee high fail-safe characteristics, the sensors feature an integrated diagnostic function. This allows quick detection of cable ruptures and continuous monitoring of sensor functionality without requiring additional counter inputs for rotational speed measurements.

Available in corrosion-resistant metal housings sized M12 and M18, these sensors offer a maximum sensing distance of 10 mm, a switching frequency up to 1 kHz, and an operating temperature range from -40°C to +75°C.
