Part Number
Configured Part Number is shown.
Product overview
A proximity switch is a type of position switch that can be operated without mechanical direct contact with the moving part. When an object approaches the induction surface of the switch to the operating distance, the switch can operate without mechanical contact or applying any pressure, thereby driving a DC electrical appliance or providing control commands to a computer (plc) device. A proximity switch is a type of switch-type sensor (that is, a contactless switch). It has the characteristics of both a travel switch and a microswitch, while also providing sensing performance. It operates reliably, has stable performance, fast frequency response, long life, strong anti-interference ability, and features such as being waterproof, shockproof, and corrosion resistant.

Method of use
Shielded type
The magnetic flux of the shielded type is concentrated at the front of the sensor, and the range of its inductive magnetic field is directed toward the front of the proximity switch.
The magnetic flux of the shielded type is concentrated at the front of the sensor, and the range of its inductive magnetic field is directed toward the front of the proximity switch.
Unshielded type
The non-shielded coil magnetic flux surge can increase the detection distance, but because there is no protective enclosure, it is easily affected by surrounding metal.
Special attention is required during installation.

Special attention is required during installation.
Single shielded type
To prevent signal interference, the distance from the sensor surface to the detected metal material must be ≥ 3Sn (Sn is the sensor detection distance), and the distance between two adjacent proximity sensors must be ≥ D (D is the sensor diameter).
To prevent signal interference, the distance from the sensor surface to the detected metal material must be ≥ 3Sn (Sn is the sensor detection distance), and the distance between two adjacent proximity sensors must be ≥ D (D is the sensor diameter).
Single unshielded type
There is no protection around the induction coil, so the distance Y between the induction surface and the mounting surface must be maintained (M5 to M8, Y = 6 mm; M12, Y = 9 mm).
The distance from the sensor surface to the detected metal material must be ≥ 3Sn, and the distance between two adjacent proximity sensors must be ≥ 2D (D is the sensor diameter).

Opposed mounting method
For sensors installed in opposition, the minimum distance between the two induction surfaces must be ≥ 6Sn
