New Product: Miniature prox sensors
The M8 miniature picoprox sensors feature the company’s Uprox+ technology that provides compact housings with sensing distances greater than ferrite-core sensors, especially when sensing nonferrous metals.
The sensors
sit in 316 stainless steel and
have weld-field immunity for use in
harsh- duty environments.
An integrated predamping protection
function reduces the sensor’s
metal-free mounting area, which lets
traditionally flush-mounted sensors be
recessed by half a turn for more mechanical
protection. Nonflush-mounted
sensors can be embedded in metal
up to the outer edge of the thread on
barrel-style sensors and on all four sides
of rectangular-style sensors.
The sensors are available with
extended 2-mm sensing ranges for
flush-mount versions or 6-mm ranges
for nonflush applications. All sensors
are three-wire dc, 10 to 30 Vdc, with
pnp normally open or closed, or npn
normally open versions.
