The Q10S joins the uprox+ family of advanced factor 1 sensors. The 10 × 10 × 28-mm sensor achieves 5-mm sensing distances. The Q10S feature an active side face and detect all metals, including aluminum, copper, and steel, at the same rated distance without requiring reinstallation, unlike traditional ferrite-core proximity sensors.

An integrated predamping function lets sensors mount directly on metal or flush-mounted, with metal present on four sides. With an intermediate metal plate, the sensors can even be mounted directly beside one another without causing interference. The sensor’s internal electronics make them resistant to EMC and provide an IP68-protection rating.
