- Sensing range: 5 mm
- Housing: Threaded sensor
- Housing material: Stainless steel housing
- Sensor face material: Stainless steel housing
- Mounting: Flush mounting, reduced lateral detection field for precise sensing performance
- Switching function: NO, output activated when an object is detected
- Cable length: n/d
- Supply voltage: DC 10-30V, compatibility with PLC control systems and industrial automation networks
Applications
- They are used in assembly processes to verify the correct positioning and seating of parts.
- Detects workpiece presence before machining operations begin.
- Ensures synchronization of components in production and packaging lines.
- Delivers reliable performance in advanced robotic and automated production environments.
- Integrated into machine safety systems and interlock applications.
Features & Benefits
- Precise detection of metal components in assembly processes.
- Resistance to coolants, oils, and industrial contaminants.
- Resistance to intensive cyclic operation.
- High positioning accuracy of components in robotic systems.
- Reliable performance in safety and control systems.
When to choose this model
- Designed for heavy-duty industrial environments where maximum durability and stable performance are required.
- Performs reliably in heavy-duty applications requiring long service life and wear resistance.
- Provides reliable operation in demanding environments with increased exposure to mechanical stress.
- Designed for large automation systems requiring durable and reliable metal detection.
Connection
The sensor has an NPN output, so connect it with an M12 4-pin connection cable without LEDs. Cables with LEDs (NXOC12281…, NXOC12401…) have a yellow status LED wired for a PNP output and are not suitable for NPN sensors.
The diameter of an inductive sensor is a dimension that defines the width of the sensor element measured in millimeters. This is an important technical parameter as it affects the mounting method and the space required for installation.
Rated detection range is a key parameter of an inductive sensor.Indicates the distance at which the sensor changes its output state when a metal object approaches its front end axially.This is the sensor's most important functional feature—it determines how close the object being detected must be in order to be registered.
