Product type
Sensors and actuators are essential components in factory automation, enabling machines to detect conditions and respond accordingly. Sensors gather data from the environment, such as temperature, pressure, or motion, while actuators convert electrical signals into physical movement or action, such as opening a valve or moving a robotic arm. These devices are typically made from materials like plastic, metal, or silicon, depending on their specific application and environmental requirements.
| Sensor types | Proximity, temperature, pressure, and flow |
| Actuator types | Electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic |
| Operating temperature range | -40°C to 85°C |
| Power supply | 24V DC or 110V AC |
| Communication protocols | Modbus, CAN, and Ethernet/IP |
When selecting sensors and actuators, consider the specific requirements of your application, including the type of measurement or action needed, the operating environment, and compatibility with existing systems. Specify factors such as accuracy, response time, and communication protocols. It's also important to consider certifications for safety and environmental standards, as well as the quantity required for your project.
