Founded in 1972 · Headquarters: Leutkirch, Germany
Who is elobau and what does it make?
elobau is a German manufacturer of non-contact sensors, control elements and machine safety components, based in Leutkirch, in the Allgäu region. The company started in 1972 with a magnetic proximity switch with a reed contact, and its products are developed and made in its own plants. The range has four directions: control elements for off-highway vehicles, machine safety, level measurement, and position, tilt and angle sensors. For a quotation, send us the code from the sensor or joystick, for example 171, N7 or J7.
In machine safety, elobau makes magnetically actuated safety sensors for monitoring movable guards, for example the 171 series with M30 thread, 165, the 120VA stainless steel series with protection up to IP69K and eloProtect M 153MSK, plus eloProtect E RFID sensors, sensors for explosive gas and dust atmospheres, emergency stop buttons and interlocks. The signals are evaluated with safety relays and control units, configurable systems programmed with the eloProg Safety Designer software, and input and output modules.
The N6 (static) and N7 (dynamic) tilt sensors use MEMS technology, measure on one, two or three axes and have IP6K7/IP6K9K protection, while the angle sensors work without contact, on the Hall principle. For level there are miniature or side-mounted float switches, continuous sensors based on reed contacts and suction tubes with integrated level measurement, for temperatures between −40 and +180 °C. The J3, JFT and J7 joysticks, multifunction grips and modular armrests are fitted on agricultural machinery, construction machines and forklift trucks.

How do we supply elobau in Romania?
We quote elobau magnetic and RFID safety sensors, safety relays and evaluation systems, tilt and angle sensors, level sensors and control elements for mobile machinery. Send us the full code from the sensor or joystick, the number of contacts and the connector type, the cable length, and for level sensors the rod length and the liquid. We bring them in to order, sourced from the EU, usually in 1–4 weeks; an item that is available locally or at the supplier can ship in 24–72 h. For control elements configured for a specific machine, the lead time can be longer.
We supply elobau safety sensors as components; validating the safety function on the machine after replacement remains the responsibility of the integrator or the maintenance team.
Frequently asked questions about elobau
What does elobau make?
elobau makes non-contact sensors and control elements in Leutkirch: magnetic and RFID safety sensors, safety relays and systems, tilt, angle and position sensors, level sensors, and joysticks, grips and armrests for agricultural machinery, construction machinery and forklift trucks.
How do I choose an elobau safety sensor for a protective door?
The mounting space, the housing material and the environment matter. The 171 series has an M30 thread, 165 has oval holes for easy alignment, 120VA is stainless steel up to IP69K, and eloProtect E uses RFID. Please also send us the safety relay it works with, so we can check the combination.
How long does it take to receive an elobau sensor in Romania?
Delivery is in 24–72 h when the item is available locally or at the supplier. On order we usually bring it in within 1–4 weeks. For joysticks or armrests configured for a machine, depending on brand and specifications, the lead time can be longer; we confirm it in the quotation.
The elobau joystick on my machine has failed. What data do you need?
