Balluff is a leading sensor and automation brand that offers a comprehensive portfolio of innovative sensor, identification and network technologies and software for integrated system solutions.


Automation is almost inconceivable without inductive sensors. Wherever processes are automated, non-contact position detection of metallic objects, freedom from wear, and reliability are in demand. At Balluff you are offered a wide range of inductive sensors in various form factors for virtually any application: from standard sensors to sensors with extended switching distance, hygiene-approved, high-pressure and Ex sensors, Factor 1 or all-metal sensors.
The most important benefits

Balluff’s capacitive sensors detect fluids, granulates and powders in direct contact or through a non-metallic container wall. As stick-on sensors, they fit flexibly to the housing shape and are easily removable. Moisture, foam and deposits of any kind are compensated for, even through glass and plastic walls up to 10 mm thick.
The most important benefits

Photoelectric sensors from Balluff reliably recognize the presence of objects. They check shape, color, distance or thickness equally reliably. This is because they have a significantly greater detection range compared to inductive or capacitive technology.
The most important benefits

Our magnetic field sensors are used chiefly on cylinders and grippers for monitoring the piston position. The sensor thus recognizes the field of the magnet integrated into the piston through the actuator wall even at high travel speeds.
The most important benefits

The cam switches from Balluff are used on machine tools, presses, in flexible manufacturing centers, robots, assembly and conveying devices, and in machine and equipment construction. They serve as command transmitters for automatic controls, for positioning and for end-of-travel switching.
The most important benefits

These universal sensors work regardless of color or surface composition and are unaffected by transparent objects with strong reflection. Ultrasonic sensors from Balluff are available as switching or analog output types. Depending on the output signal you can either reliably detect and count objects or determine distances with high precision. These sensors therefore have versatile uses.
The most important benefits

Balluff’s magnetic encoders were developed for precise positioning and speed detection in very dynamic applications. The highly-precise, fastresponse encoders are optionally equipped with magnetic linear or rotational measuring elements.
The most important benefits

Magnetostrictive sensors come into use wherever high reliability and precision is demanded in position and speed measurement. Even under extreme surrounding conditions, they guarantee a high machine and system availability.
The most important benefits

Many applications require precise position control as well as continuous guiding and monitoring of rotary movements. Inclination sensors from Balluff measure the deviation from horizontal or vertical axes up to 360°.
The most important benefits

Our high-end pressure transmitters are optimally suited for pressure monitoring and pressure measurement of gaseous, fluid and viscous media. The bright LED display always gives you an overview of the current system pressure.
The most important benefits

With temperature sensors, you can measure and monitor temperatures by contact or contactlessly in a wide range of applications.
The most important benefits

Microwave sensors are used for measuring the level of solids and liquids as well as interfaces. The guided radar pulses along the probe ensure precise and stable measurement even with dust-forming and foamy media. The measuring principle and mechanical construction make our microwave sensors ideal for harsh environments.
The most important benefits

Flow sensors let you measure and monitor the flow of process media in a wide range of applications. For example the lubricant flow or reliable circulation of cooling water. Now you can detect a pump failure early and prevent an unplanned machine or even system stop.

Our BIS industrial RFID systems provide an overview in a modern production facility. Objects can be automatically identified and traced using RFID. Balluff offers a broad selection of innovative products for the low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) range.
