SICK GRF18S Series level sensor Level Sensor, Screw, Fluorelastomer, Housing Stainless Steel

SICK GRF18S Series Level Sensor, 20 Bar Maximum Pressure, 55°C Maximum Operating Temperature - GRF18S-N234LV

This level sensor provides point-level detection for industrial fluid monitoring, designed for screw mounting in process equipment. It features a corrosion-resistant stainless steel enclosure and connects via an M12 connector, making it suitable for integration into control and automation systems where a compact, rugged probe is required.

Features and Benefits:

• Stainless steel housing offers Durable corrosion resistance Fluoroelastomer gasket ensures chemical-resistant sealing Maximum pressure rating of 20 bar supports pressurised systems Operates between -10 to 55°C for varied temperature environments Low current draw of 100 mA minimises power consumption 30V DC maximum voltage allows safe low-voltage interfacing

Applications

• Suitable for liquid level detection in hydraulic units Ideal for integration into PLC-based control cabinets Used for process monitoring on chemical dosing skids Can be used for tank level sensing in manufacturing lines Used with pneumatic systems requiring pressure-rated probes

What connector should I expect for electrical integration?

It uses an M12 connector for straightforward wiring to sensors and I/O modules.

Is the sensor acceptable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres?

It has no hazardous area certification and must not be used where such certification is required.

What materials are contact Seals MADE from to resist chemicals?

The sealing element is MADE from fluoroelastomer, chosen for chemical compatibility.

How does the enclosure material benefit long-term operation?

The stainless steel body resists corrosion and mechanical wear in industrial settings.

Which standards and approvals does it hold for regulatory acceptance?

It is CE marked and listed under UL approvals for recognised safety compliance.
