Baumer temperature sensors are high-precision industrial sensors designed for accurate and reliable temperature measurement in a wide range of applications, including automation, process control, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and heavy industry. Baumer is a Swiss-based company known for its innovation in sensor technology, measuring instruments, and industrial imaging.
🌡️ Overview of Baumer Temperature Sensors
Baumer offers a complete range of contact and non-contact temperature sensors, including:
RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) – typically Pt100 or Pt1000
Thermocouples
Infrared sensors (non-contact)
Digital temperature transmitters
Hygienic temperature sensors for food and pharma
🧩 Main Types of Baumer Temperature Sensors
1. 🔧 RTD Sensors (Pt100 / Pt1000)
Based on resistance change of platinum with temperature.
Accurate and stable over a wide range (–50°C to +400°C).
Example Series: CombiTemp TFRH, TFRN, TFR5
Output: Analog (4–20 mA), digital (IO-Link, Modbus), or direct resistance
2. 🔥 Thermocouples
Type K, J, T, etc.
Suitable for high temperatures (up to 1200°C depending on type).
Faster response, lower accuracy than RTDs.
Used in furnaces, exhaust systems.
3. 🛰️ Infrared / Non-Contact Sensors
Measure surface temperature without contact.
Used in moving parts or inaccessible areas.
Example: Baumer TFD Series
4. 🧪 Hygienic Temperature Sensors
Designed for clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilize-in-place (SIP) systems.
Compliant with EHEDG, 3-A, FDA standards.
Example: CombiTemp TFRH with integrated display and IO-Link.
5. 📟 Temperature Transmitters
Convert RTD or thermocouple signals to 4–20 mA, 0–10 V, or digital outputs.
Integrated electronics for linearization, signal conditioning.
DIN rail or head-mount versions available.
