Product catalog summary

Inductive Proximity Sensors Overview

Specifications:
The document details the specifications of inductive proximity sensors, highlighting their construction, mounting options, signaling features, and connection types. Available in sizes M8, M12, M18, and M30, these sensors offer flush and non-flush sensing faces, a yellow LED for signaling, and connection options including M8 and M12 connectors or a 2m PVC cable.

Technical Data:
Operating on a voltage range of 10 to 36 VDC with a ripple of ≤ 10%, these sensors have a no-load supply current of ≤ 16 mA and a power-on delay of ≤ 20 ms. The output current is ≤ 200 mA at 50°C, reducing to ≤ 150 mA at higher temperatures. They provide protection against reverse polarity, short-circuits, and transients, with a voltage transient rating of 1 kV/0.5 J. The maximum operating frequency is ≤ 2000 Hz, and they are rated for IP67 protection.

Applications:
Suitable for machine tools, agriculture, and material handling systems, these sensors are designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets and are robust for demanding industrial environments.

Environmental and Mechanical Data:
Operating within a temperature range of -25° to +80°C, the sensors withstand vibrations and shocks as per IEC standards. Constructed from stainless steel or nickel-plated brass, they have a maximum tightening torque of 7 Nm for stainless steel and 10 Nm for brass.

Compliance and Approvals:
Compliant with European Directives and International Standards, including CE and cULus approvals, these sensors meet EMC protection standards as per IEC 60947-5-2.

Technical Specifications:
Response Times: Maximum operating frequency is ≤ 1500 Hz or ≤ 1000 Hz depending on the model.
Indication: Output ON is indicated by an activated yellow LED, while short circuit/overload is indicated by a blinking LED at 2 Hz.
Environmental Conditions: Operating temperature ranges from -25°C to +70°C for cables and -40°C to +70°C for plugs. Storage temperature ranges from -30°C to +80°C. Humidity is 5% to 95% non-condensing. Vibration and shock comply with IEC 60947-5-2/7.4. Degree of protection is IP67.
EMC and Conformity: EMC protection complies with IEC 60947-5-2, with specified standards and values for electrostatic discharge, radiated radiofrequency, burst immunity, conducted radio frequency, and power frequency magnetic fields.
Mechanical Data: Sensors are flush or non-flush mountable with housing made of nickel-plated brass and front cap of grey thermoplastic polyester. Maximum tightening torque is 25 Nm.
Electrical Connection: Cable specifications include 2m length, with different diameters and materials for various models. Connectors are M12 male.

Installation Guidelines:
Minimum values ensure changes in sensing range are less than 10%. Inductive proximity switches use coils to generate electromagnetic fields, requiring clear space around the sensor element. Safe assured release distance is guaranteed at a minimum distance to a measurement plate/metal environment of at least 3 x Sn. Minimum distances must be maintained to prevent mutual interference.

Proximity Sensors Specifications:
M8 Sensors: Rated operating distance is 2 mm for flush and 4 mm for non-flush sensors. Weight is 16 g for connector models and 45 g for cable models.
M12 Sensors: Rated operating distance is 4 mm for flush and 8 mm for non-flush sensors. Weight is 30 g for connector models and 120 g for cable models.
M18 Sensors: Rated operating distance is 8 mm for flush and 14 mm for non-flush sensors. Weight is 70 g for connector models and 150 g for cable models.
M30 Sensors: Rated operating distance is 15 mm for flush and 22 mm for non-flush sensors. Weight is 185 g for connector models and 190 g for cable models.
