RECTANGULAR INDUCTIVE PROXIMITY SENSOR
Amplifi er Built-in
Stable detection by superior basic performance!
Having little individual variability in the sensors along with excellent
temperature characteristics, stable detection can be obtained.
Variation at the max. operation distance is within ±8 % Temperature characteristics vary within ±8 %
Strong against vibration or shock!
With the new integrated construction method, the sensors was able to
clear endurance tests of shock resistance of 10,000 m/s
2
acceleration
(1,000 G approx. in X, Y and Z directions for three times each), and
vibration resistance of 10 to 500 Hz frequency [3 mm 0.118 in (20 G
max.) amplitude in X, Y and Z directions for two hours each].
Close mounting of two sensors
Different frequency type is available so that two sensors can be
mounted closely together.
Highly resistant to water and oil! IP68g protection structure
The new integrated construction method used improves
environmental resistance performance. Sensors can be used even
in places where water or oil presents.
Operation indicator of high visibility
An easy-to-see operation indicator (orange) that has a prism with a
wide fi eld of view is incorporated.
Mounting holes with metal sleeves for secure tightening
The mounting holes have metal sleeves
inserted to prevent damage to the
sensor due to over tightening.

Notes: 1)
Where measurement conditions have not been specifi ed precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 °C +73.4 °F.
2) “I” in the model No. indicates a different frequency type.
3)
The maximum operation distance stands for the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object.
The stable sensing range stands for the sensing range for which the sensor can stably detect the standard sensing object even if
there is an ambient temperature drift and/or supply voltage fl uctuation.
4) This is when mounted onto an insulant plate. When mounted onto a steel or stainless steel plate,
insert the optional aluminum sheet between the sensor and the plate.
5)
This is when mounted onto an insulant plate. When mounted onto a metallic plate, max. response frequency will decrease.
