When it comes to outdoor applications, many sensors struggle with durability and reliability under harsh conditions. However, Baumer’s new GIM500R inclination sensors are designed to excel even in the most challenging environments. These compact sensors feature a robust aluminium housing, making them suitable for tough industrial and mobile automation settings where maximum uptime is critical.

Precision and Reliability

The GIM500R series offers ultra-high accuracy with ±0.1° precision, ensuring reliable positioning. The design complies with E1 standards and boasts excellent EMC properties, achieving an IP 69K rating for dust and water resistance along with corrosion immunity up to C5-M level. Additionally, the sensors can withstand shock and vibration forces of up to 200g (during operation) or 20g (constant), making them durable in fluctuating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C.

Safety-Critical Applications

The integrated EN13849-compliant firmware meets the highest reliability standards, enabling use in functional safety systems rated up to PLd level. This flexibility makes the sensors ideal for critical applications where precision and system integrity are paramount. Furthermore, an optional redundant system design is available upon request, enhancing fault tolerance for mission-critical tasks.

Compact Design for Limited Spaces

Despite their robustness, these sensors maintain a compact aluminium housing that fits seamlessly in confined installation spaces common in mobile automation and heavy vehicles. This combination of small size and high performance ensures maximum flexibility without compromising on durability or cost-efficiency.
