The SAM sensor is the simple and intelligent way of speed monitoring with an additional IO-Link interface. SAM can be used as a classic speed monitor or innovative acceleration monitor with a revolutionary speed-independent monitoring function. It checks if an adjustable speed or acceleration threshold is crossed and provides a switching signal. SAM is setting new standards and revolutionizing commissioning tasks and fields of application thanks to its fast response time, monitored range of up to 12,000 pulses per minute and intelligent start-up delay.
