MISUMI
Caution
Product Description
This is an economy item, The price is cheaper than the MISUMI standard product.
Product Overview
Capacitive sensors can detect not only various types of metal workpieces, but their electrostatic principle also makes them more suitable for detecting various non-metallic objects, through-barrier detection, and detecting targets inside different containers. They can reliably detect non-metallic objects such as plastic, wood, liquids, and paper, and can also detect different substances inside containers through non-metallic walls. Electromagnetic interference, water mist, dust, and oil stains have almost no effect on their normal operation, giving the product outstanding anti-interference capability. In addition, the potentiometer allows for sensitivity adjustment, and the product comes in a variety of sizes to meet customers' diverse needs, making its applications even more extensive. It has the characteristics of both a limit switch and a micro switch, while also offering sensing capabilities. It operates reliably, has stable performance, fast frequency response, long service life, strong anti-interference ability, and features such as waterproof, shockproof, and corrosion resistance.

| To prevent signal interference, the distance from the sensor surface to the detected object should be ≥ 3Sn (Sn: sensor sensing distance), and the distance between two adjacent proximity sensors should be ≥ D (D: sensor diameter). | No protection around the sensor; the sensing surface must maintain a distance of Y from the mounting surface. The distance between the sensing surface and the detected object should be ≥ 3Sn, and the distance between two adjacent proximity sensors should be ≥ 2D (D is the sensor diameter). | ||||||||||||||||||
