The present disclosure relates to a sensor housing for a multi-parameter sensor, the sensor housing including: at least two connection points, wherein a first connection point is configured to receive a first sensor, and a second connection point is configured to receive a second sensor different from the first sensor, wherein the first connection point includes a first mistake-proofing feature for the first sensor, and the second connection point includes a second mistake-proofing feature for the second sensor, wherein the first and second mistake-proofing feature are configured such that only the first sensor can be inserted into the first connection point and only the second sensor can be inserted into the second connection point, respectively.

Sensor housing for a multi-parameter sensor, sensor set and multi-parameter sensor

The present disclosure relates to a process connection for connecting a sensor to a process inlet via a process seal and a fixing element. The process connection includes a sensor housing and a clamping element. The sensor housing has a housing body configured to receive the sensor and a housing collar that extends around the housing body and has a first sealing section, which encircles the housing body, and a contact area. The housing collar is formed integrally with the housing body. The first sealing section is suitable for receiving the process seal to connect the process inlet to the housing collar in a fluid-tight manner. The clamping element has a contact area which is suitable for coming into contact with the contact area of the housing collar to press the housing collar onto the process seal.

Process for reversibly connecting a sensor to an inlet

The present disclosure includes a process automation technology sensor for detecting at least one measured variable of a medium, the sensor including a process connection for attaching the sensor to a container in which the medium is located; at least two webs which run essentially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the sensor, where the webs are arranged on the medium side extending from the process connection; and at least one first housing portion that comprises a temperature sensor, where the first housing portion is arranged between the webs.

Process automation technology sensor

The disclosure includes an inductive conductivity sensor for measuring the specific electrical conductivity of a medium with a transmitter coil energized by an input signal, a receiver coil coupled with the transmitter coil via the medium, which receiver coil supplies an output signal that is a measure for the conductivity of the medium, and a housing enclosing the transmitter coil and the receiver coil, which housing comprises at least one housing section designed to be immersed in the medium, the housing wall of said housing section surrounding the transmitter coil and the receiver coil. The housing is made of a magnetic plastic or resin for inductively decoupling the transmitter coil from the receiver coil. In certain embodiments, the housing may be made of a ferromagnetic material. Another aspect of the disclosure includes a method for manufacturing the conductivity sensor.

Inductive conductivity sensor and method

The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a conductivity sensor, including a conductive conductivity sensor, including method steps of producing a thermoplastic sensor body of a plastic, which is doped at least partially with a laser activatable, metal compound as an additive, radiating the sensor body at doped locations by means of a laser, so that conductive metal nuclei form from the metal compound, immersing the sensor body in a metal bath, until at least one conductive trace forms on the region having the metal nuclei, where the at least one conductive trace serves as an electrode of the conductivity sensor.

Method for manufacturing a conductivity sensor

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a sensor comprising the steps of: adapting a sensor adapter of the sensor element to a first section of the process connection, introducing the sensor element with the sensor adapter first into the first section of the process connection, so that the sensor element projects beyond the process connection with a second section and the first section of the process connection and the first section of the sensor element form a gap, connecting the sensor element to the process connection by creating a weld connection between the first section of the process connection and the sensor adapter of the sensor element in the region of the gap.

Method for producing a sensor

A method for manufacturing an inductive conductivity sensor, wherein on both sides of a circuit board coils are placed surrounding an opening of the circuit board, and the circuit board with the coils is inserted into a housing. A sleeve is inserted through a first opening of the housing through the opening of the circuit board into the housing. The sleeve includes a first end section and a second end section and the sleeve is inserted with the first end section first into the housing, and wherein the sleeve is welded with the housing by means of a sonotrode by ultrasonic welding. Both the first end section as well as also the second end section of the sleeve are welded with the housing, wherein the sonotrode is applied exclusively on the sleeve on the side of the second end section. The invention relates further to an inductive conductivity sensor.

Method for manufacturing an inductive conductivity sensor and inductive conductivity sensor

A method for manufacturing an inductive conductivity sensor, with coils on both sides of a circuit board are placed surrounding an opening of the circuit board. The circuit board with the coils is inserted into a housing, wherein a sleeve is inserted in the housing through a second opening of the housing through the opening of the circuit board out to a first opening. The first opening, the second opening and the opening of the circuit board are aligned with one another, wherein the sleeve includes a first end section and a second end section and the sleeve is inserted with the first end section first in the housing, and wherein the sleeve is welded with the housing by means of a sonotrode by ultrasonic welding. The first end section of the sleeve is welded with the housing and with a counterpart inserted into the first opening. The invention relates further to an inductive conductivity sensor.

Method for manufacturing an inductive conductivity sensor and an inductive conductivity sensor

A retractable assembly, comprising: a housing; an immersion tube, which is axially movable between a service position and a process position. A first inlet facing away from the medium and a second inlet facing the medium. The immersion tube is moved from the service position to the process position by supplying the first inlet with energy, and the immersion tube is moved from the process position to the service position by supplying the second inlet with energy. A first mechanical blocking member shifts against a spring bias, and the blocking member engages in a first groove on the immersion tube. The first groove is located in the movement direction. The spring bias is so embodied that supplying the second inlet with energy releases the blocking member from the groove, whereby movement of the immersion tube from process position to service position becomes possible.

Retractable assembly

A method for manufacture of an inductive sensor, wherein coils are placed on both sides of a support plate surrounding an opening of the support plate, and the support plate with the coils is inserted into a housing. A sleeve is inserted through a first cavity of the housing through the opening of the support plate into the housing. In order to achieve a secure and temperature independent joint between the sleeve and the housing, the sleeve () is welded with the housing ().
