Inductive BEROs
Introduction
Application examples
■ Overview
Recognition of broken drills
The inductive BEROs are position switches that can be operated

without contact, that contain no mechanical parts subject to Recognition of setscrews on the wheel
wear, and that are to a large extent insensitive to environmental for checking of speed or direction
conditions.
They are used in applications with stringent requirements for re-
liability, switch point accuracy, service life, number of switching
operations, operating speed, and so on.
■ Area of application
Inductive BEROs are the low-cost method for non-contact detec-
tion of metal objects. They are used in sectors in which metal
components play an important role, e.g.
7 In the motor industry
5
Recognition of valve position
7 In mechanical engineering (completely open or closed)
7 In the robotics industry
7 In conveyor systems and
7 In the paper and printing industry
The induction principle and the experience gained by Siemens

over many years have made the inductive BEROs what they are:
extremely reliable with a very high repeat accuracy and long ser-
vice life thanks to a lack of wearing parts as well as their insen-
sitivity to temperature, noise, light and water.
Our customers also benefit from the wide range of inductive
BERO proximity switches that Siemens offers. Our complete Recognition of broken pieces on a mill
range meets a wide range of different requirements and leaves
no wishes unfulfilled. Inductive BEROs are available
7 With operating distances from 0.6 to 75 mm
7 In cylindrical and cubic designs
7 In the standard version as 3- and 4-wire sensors
7 As 2-wire sensors for solid-state inputs
7 For extra duty (DC 65 V or AC/DC 320 V)
7 To the IP68 degree of protection for extreme environmental
conditions
7 With increased operating distances Recognition of cans and lids
7 Without a reduction factor
7 As pressure-resistant sensors
7 Acc. to DESINA specification
7 For direct connection to AS-Interface and
7 As intrinsically safe sensors for potentially explosive environ-
ments.
