New Release | F135 Inductive Sensors: Built to Endure 250°C. Pepperl+Fuchs’ toughest sensor yet for extreme heat

Pepperl+Fuchs F135 Series: Your “High-Temperature Hero” for Demanding Industrial Environments

Reliable object detection in extreme heat has long been a major industrial challenge. Meet the solution: the F135 Inductive High-Temperature Sensor from Pepperl+Fuchs. This “high-temperature hero” is engineered to conquer harsh environments, delivering unwavering performance at temperatures up to 250°C.

The F135 stands out with two key innovations:

1. An Extended Sensing Range: With a working distance of up to 50mm, it offers greater flexibility for your application needs.
2. Seamless Industry 4.0 Integration: A built-in IO-Link interface in the amplifier bridges the gap between the sensor and controller, enabling effortless communication and smart data exchange.

For added convenience, the sensor features a variable cable length, significantly simplifying installation and system integration.

High stability across temperature variations and exceptional longevity

F135 Inductive High-Temperature Sensor: Reliability up to 250°C.

Designed for challenging high-temperature environments, the new F135 series delivers robust performance where it counts.

Ventajas clave:

• Minimal Temperature Drift: Maintains a stable sensing distance across a wide temperature range.
• Extended Service Life & High Reliability: Reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
• Simplified Sensor Head Replacement: Allows for quick swaps without the need for recalibrating the amplifier or resetting the operating distance via potentiometer.

Industry 4.0 for High Temperature Applications

In the era of Industry 4.0, the IO-Link interface plays a crucial role. It seamlessly integrates high-temperature sensors into a unified data exchange system, enabling not only continuous and stable communication between the control and field levels but also straightforward device parameter configuration and the transmission of essential additional information.

Enhance predictive maintenance

Empower Your Operations with Data-Rich High-Temperature Sensing.
Our IO-Link inductive high-temperature sensors go beyond simple detection by providing extensive status and maintenance information. Key features like integrated switching cycle and operating hour counters supply the foundational data required for predictive maintenance planning. Furthermore, the capability for synchronized operation of multiple devices is supported in both SIO and IO-Link modes, offering maximum application flexibility.

Connection and cable length options

The F135 series offers exceptional flexibility in connectivity and cable length to suit your specific application needs. You can choose between a fixed cable or a separable connector model for coupling with the M18 amplifier.

For precise customization, cable lengths are available from 1 to 30 meters in configurable 5-meter increments. This versatility ensures a perfect fit for a wide range of installation layouts, making your integration process remarkably straightforward.

Furthermore, the modular design allows each component of the sensor set to be replaced individually, significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs and downtime. For enhanced durability, the sensor head can be flush-mounted in metal, effectively minimizing the risk of damage and extending the operational lifespan of your equipment.
