17\/08\/2026 \u00a0HBK – Hottinger, Bruel & Kjaer<\/p>\n
Inductive displacement sensors now available with IO-Link or traditional industrial interfaces<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As industrial monitoring, quality assurance, production and assembly processes become increasingly connected, engineers need measurement solutions that can integrate easily into modern automation environments – while maintaining flexibility for existing systems.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To address this, test and measurement expert Hottinger Bru?el & Kj\u00e6r (HBK) has expanded the interface options available for its proven WI and WA inductive displacement sensor series, introducing models with an IO-Link interface, alongside existing industrial interface options.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These sensors have long been used successfully in monitoring, quality assurance, production and assembly applications \u2013 and in civil engineering.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Miniature displacement sensors WI with measurement ranges from 2 mm to 10 mm are exceptionally compact, featuring an outer diameter of only 8 mm.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The WA series offers a wide variety of configurations, enabling adaptation to any measurement task. This includes pressure-resistant versions, probe-type sensors, loose plungers and several cable outlet options suited for different mechanical environments. The loose plunger variants are available with measuring ranges of up to 500 mm.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
HBK\u2019s three new inline amplifier modules come with 0\u201310 V, 4\u201320 mA, or IO-Link outputs. These amplifiers improve linearity to just 0.1% and provide fully calibrated measurement chains. The digital IO-Link versions transmit measurement values in millimeters immediately once connected to an IO-Link master. The versions with IO-Link interface featuring Bessel- or Butterworth filters and calibration results can be stored directly within the sensor if required.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s passive sensor models will still supplied, without any restrictions.<\/p>\n
