Material Composition | Harsh chemical/temperature environments | Plastic (ASTM D648 @ 80°C) ▲ Metal+Plastic (▲ ASTM F131 @ 120°C) ▲▲ 316 Stainless Steel (▲▲ ASTM A276 @ 200°C) | Advanced tier withstands extreme temps/chemicals; Base balances cost/durability | Standard may degrade in high heat; Advanced is heavier/costlier |
Mounting Type | Secure industrial installations | Threaded mount (ISO 7380) ▲ Threaded + locking nut (▲ DIN 987) ▲▲ Threaded + magnetic alignment (▲▲ Custom spec) | Advanced ensures precision; Base prevents loosening over time | Standard may vibrate loose; Advanced requires alignment tools |
Sensing Technology | High-precision position detection | Inductive (IEC 60947-5-2, 5mm range) ▲ Magnetic+inductive (▲ 10mm) ▲▲ Dual-sensor fusion (▲▲ 20mm) | Advanced offers longest range/accuracy; Base reduces interference risks | Standard may fail in metal-heavy environments; Advanced increases power draw |
Operating Temperature | Extreme environments (e.g., foundries) | -25°C to 70°C (IEC 60721-3-2) ▲ -40°C to 85°C (▲ IEC 60721-3-10) ▲▲ -55°C to 125°C (▲▲ IEC 60721-3-11) | Advanced operates in arctic/industrial ovens; Base suits moderate extremes | Standard fails in extreme cold/heat; Advanced requires specialized cooling |
Response Time | High-speed machinery monitoring | 5ms (IEC 60947-5-1) ▲ 2ms (▲ IEC 60947-5-1) ▲▲ 0.5ms (▲▲ IEC 60947-5-1) | Advanced reduces latency in critical systems; Base improves reliability | Standard may lag in fast-moving parts; Advanced needs robust power supply |
IP Protection | Outdoor/wet environments | IP65 (IEC 60529) ▲ IP67 (▲ IEC 60529) ▲▲ IP69K (▲▲ IEC 60529) | Advanced withstands high-pressure washdowns; Base resists dust/water ingress | Standard fails in heavy rain; Advanced requires frequent sealing checks |
