The E58 Harsh Duty Series by Eaton’s Electrical Sector was designed to withstand your harshest physical, chemical and optical environments. 

Extensive research dictated the choice of materials used in this sensor. Stainless steel, PVDF and tempered glass components are mechanically assembled using Viton® seals to ensure complete sealing and resistance to industry chemicals. All adhesives and potting subject to failure from chemical attack have been eliminated from the design. The result is a sensor highly resistant to chemical attack and moisture intrusion, that can withstand heavy shock and vibration in almost any application.

E58 Harsh Duty sensors feature unparalleled optical performance. They are ideal for automotive applications where exposure to lubricants, cutting fluids, coolants and glycols is common. For food processing applications, a smooth body version simplifies high-pressure chemical washdowns, and withstands the use of sanitizers, surfactants, and cleaning agents including diluted bases and acids.
