Inductive sensors for analog distance measurement
Balluff inductive distance sensors BAW provide an absolute voltage-
or current signal that changes proportionally to the distance of a
metallic target. Objects of varying shape and size made of ferrous
or non-ferrous materials damp the sensor to different degrees. This
provides a simple way of detecting positions, distances and material
differences.

Tie rod length change on an injection molding machine

Tie rod

In injection molding machines, the clamping force of the tool is built up through
a toggle joint and a hydraulic cylinder. The extension of the machine tie rods is
thereby directly proportional to the clamping force, and can be easily deter-
mined using an inductive distance sensor.

 Basic Information and Definitions
Inductive sensors

Principle Inductive sensors affect the interaction of metallic targets with the
electromagnetic alternating field of the sensor. Eddy currents are
induced in the metallic damping material, which removes energy
from the field and reduces the height of the oscillation amplitude.
This change is processed in the inductive sensor, which changes its
output state accordingly.

The functional groups of Balluff sensors are:

Sensor field, Oscillator Demodulator Trigger Output-

Coil, core driver

Sensor field
Sensing surface The sensing surface is the area through which the high-frequency
sensor field enters the air space. It is determined primarily by the
base of the shell core and corresponds roughly to the surface area of
the shell core cap.

Sensing surface

Standard target The standard target is a grounded, square plate made of Fe 360
(ISO 630), with the switching distance determined per EN 60947-5-2.
The thickness is d = 1 mm; and the side length a corresponds to

Standard target
■ The diameter of the registered circle of the
"sensing surface" or
■ 3 sn, if the value is greater than the nominal diameter.

Correction factor The correction factor indicates the reduction of the switching distance in
damping materials which deviate from Fe 360.

Material Factor

Copper 0.25...0.45
Brass 0.35...0.50

surface relationship of iron to
non-conductive material is 1 : 2.

The measured value of the swit-

ching frequency is reached if the
switching signal is t1 = 50 µs or
the turn-off signal is t2 = 50 µs.

 Basic Information and Definitions
Inductive sensors

Delay times

Stand-by delay t v The stand-by delay is the time between switching on the supply volt-
age and the beginning of operational readiness of the sensor. This
time must not be longer than 300 ms. During this time, there must
be no fault signal longer than 2 ms.

Temperature effects and limits

Temperature drift The temperature drift is the deviation of the real switching distance
within the temperature range of –25 °C ≤ Ta ≤ +70 °C.
According to EN 60947-5-2: ∆sr/sr ≤ 10 %

Ambient temperature Ta The ambient temperature is the temperature range in which the func-
tion of the photoelectric switch is guaranteed.

Magnetic field immunity

Operating principle Error-free function depends on the magnitude of the welding current
and the distance of the sensor from the current-carrying line.

Through constructive and switching technological measures, mag-

netic field immune sensors are not influenced by magnetic fields.

Rated insulation The rated insulation voltage of a sensor is the voltage to which the
voltage Ui insulation checks and the air- and creepage distances are related.
For sensors, the highest rated operating voltage is considered the
rated insulation voltage.

Rated supply frequency The rated frequency of the supply network is 50 or 60 Hz.

Residual ripple σ (%) The residual ripple is the alternating current overlying the direct current
Ue (point to point from Ue). It is given in %.
To operate DC switches, a filtered DC voltage having a ripple of max.
15 % (per DIN 41755) is required.

Ue = rated operational voltage

Uss = Oscillation width

Residual ripple σ = Uss × 100 [%]

Ue

Rated operating current Ie The rated operating current is the permitted continuous output
voltage, which flows through the load RL.

Off-state current Ir The residual current is the current which flows through a blocked
sensor in the load circuit.

Short-term current carrying The short-term current carrying capacity indicates the short-term
capacity Ik permitted current Ik (Aeff) with alternating current during a specified
switching period tk (ms) and repeatability frequency f (Hz).

Limited rated short-circuit The limited short-circuit current is 100 A; meaning that, according
current to EN 60947-5-2, the supply device in short-circuit operation has
to provide a current of at least 100 A during the type test for a short
time. This current is prescribed in the standard in order to test the
short-circuit strength of sensors.

No-load supply current I0 The no-load supply current is the current that flows without a load be-
ing attached (only with 3- and 4-wire switches). This current supplies
the sensor electronics.

Minimum operational The smallest operating current is the current that is necessary in the
current Im ON-state to maintain the conductibility of the switching element.

Output resistance Ra The output resistance is the resistance between the output and the
supply voltage which is built into the switch; see "Output circuits".

Load capacitance The load capacity is the permitted total capacity at the sensor out-
put, including line capacity.

Polarity reversal protected Sensors with short-circuit protection are polarity reversal-protected
against reversal of all connections.
Sensors without short-circuit protection are polarity reversal-protect-
ed against reversal of the positive/negative cable.

Cable break protection The cable break protection prevents a malfunction by cable break in
3-wire switches. An installed diode has a power input through output
line A.

Short circuit protected The short-circuit protection is achieved in Balluff sensors with
(sensors with a maximum clocked or thermal short-circuit switches. The output stage is
voltage of 60 V DC) thereby protected against overload and short circuit.
The release current of the short-circuit protection is above the rated
operating current Ie.
Currents from switching and load capacitance do not trigger this
function, but rather are masked by a short delay time.

Short-circuit protected/over- Short-circuit protected/overload protected sensors are often oper-

load protected (sensors for ated with relays or contactors as load. At switch-on, alternating
operation optional with AC or current switching devices (protection contactor/relay) for the sensor
DC power supply) are briefly a substantially higher load (6...10x rated current) than later
in the later static operation, because their core is still open.
The static value of the load (current) is only reached after several
milliseconds. Not until the magnetic field is closed does the max.
permissible rated operating current Ie listed in the data sheet flow
through the sensor. The release value for a short-circuit in these
sensors therefore has to be substantially higher. If, for example, the
contactor would no longer be able to be closed entirely for
mechanical or electrical reasons, this could lead to an overload of
the sensors. This is where the overload protection comes into play.
It is designed as slow-acting (time-delayed). Its trigger threshold lies
only slightly above the maximum permissible Ie. A reaction (in other
words, shutoff) occurs, depending on the height of the overload,
only after more than 20 ms. With this, it is ensured that the intact
relay and contactor can be switched, but defective switching devices
cannot lead to destruction of the Balluff sensors. The short-circuit/
overload protection usual has a bistable design and has to be reset
after triggering by switching the supply voltage.

Response curves Axial and radial damping:

When damping in an axial direction, the standard target is moved
concentric to the system axis. The switchpoint is thereby determined
only by the distance "s" from the sensing surface of the sensor.
When damping in the radial direction, the location of the switch-
point is additionally affected by the radial distance "r" of the target
from the system axis.
The diagram shows the response curves, which indicate the de-
pendency of the switchpoint on "s" and "r". The primary purpose
of this drawing is to show the possibility of damping using a lateral
approach and the difference compared with axial approach.

Application:
Due in part to manufacturing tolerances within a production run, the
exact switchpoint must in any case be established on site. The solid
lines represent the respective switch-on point (E); the dashed lines
indicate the turn-off point (A). The red lines apply to switches with
a clear zone, and the black lines for flush mount types. Since the
switching operation can be induced from either direction, the curves
are shown mirrored from the system axis.

Examples:
Passing objects on conveyor lines generate a signal change
when their front edge crosses the turn-on curve on the entry side.
The signal reverses again when the back edge of the passing object
crosses the (mirrored) turn-off curve on the opposite side.
In the case of reversing parts (e. g. end of travel), the signal rever-
sal occurs at the turn-off curve on the same side.

Inductive distance sensors

Distance sensors The distance sensors with analog output are sensors which generate
with analog output a continuously varying output signal that depends on the distance
between their sensing surface and the damping element.

Effective distance se The effective distance is the point in the center of the linearity range
sI, and serves as a reference point for other information.

Linear range sI The linear range corresponds to the working range in which the
distance sensor demonstrates a defined linearity.

Non-linearity The non-linearity indicates the maximum deviation of the characteris-

tic of a straight reference. This value applies to the linear range.

of switching operations per second. Damping is done according to

EN 60947-5-2 with standard targets on a rotating, non-conductive
washer. The surface relationship of iron to non-conductive material
is 1 : 2. The rated value of the limit frequency (–3 dB-limit) is reached
if the output signal has sunk to approx. 70 % of the former signal
strength.

Measuring speed Through the measurement speed, the distance of a linearly moved
object can be requested accurately. The direction of movement of
the object is parallel to the sensing face of the sensor.

Response time The response time is the time a sensor requires to reliably and
steadily change the output signal. The specified time, which has
been determined at the maximum measuring speed, includes both
the electrical response time of the sensor and the time for the me-
chanical change of the damping state.

Slope The slope is a measure of the sensitivity of the sensor with respect
to a distance change. This physical relationship can be calculated for
distance sensors as follows:

Ua max –Ua min

Slope S [V/mm] =
sl max –sl min
or
Ia max –Ia min
Slope S [mA/mm] =
sl max –sl min

Temperature drift The temperature drift is the shift a point experiences on the actual
output curve at different temperatures. The temperature drift is
described by the temperature coefficient.

Temperature coefficient TC The temperature coefficient describes the deviation in the sensor
output signal under the effect of a temperature change.
