30 mm inductive sensors
Hello friends,
On this page, you can find our Metric 30 model proximity inductive sensors.
If you are unsure about how to make a selection, please refer to the
product descriptions where we have provided both connection diagrams and
technical details for your convenience. Please follow the instructions
carefully.
Our inductive sensors are designed for professional purposes in the industrial automation sector.
They can detect the presence or absence of metallic objects without
physical contact, and are capable of working in the same environment as
frequency inverters, power supplies, and induction motors. These sensors
are designed with galvanic isolation and high switching speed to
prevent interference from potential sources of electrical noise.
When choosing between NPN and PNP
output sensors, it's important to consider the wiring diagram and
sensing distance. We generally recommend using NPN sensors because they
are better suited to field conditions, especially in devices such as
PLCs and counters where they are less affected by noise.
Please note that our wired model sensors are only sold with their original cable length, and if you need a longer cable or connector , you should refer to the product descriptions.
When choosing between NPN and PNP output
sensors, it's important to consider the wiring diagram and sensing
distance. Both NPN and PNP sensors are used in various industrial
applications and the choice of output type depends on the specific needs
of your application.
Example:
NPN sensors are normally closed (NC) and have a negative output signal. This means that the output signal is low (0V) when the sensor is detecting an object, and high (+V) when there is no object.
PNP sensors are normally open (NO) and have a positive output signal. This means that the output signal is high (+V) when the sensor is detecting an object, and low (0V) when there is no object.
For the most accurate and reliable detection, we recommend using sensors with flat heads.
This is because the sensor body is made of metal and is only sensitive
to the metal directly in front of it, so it cannot detect unwanted
materials from other directions. In our projects, we generally use flat
head models.
However, protruding head
sensors can also detect objects on their sides, making them useful in
certain applications. The choice of head type should be based on the
specific needs of your application and the environment in which the
sensor will be used.
Our sensors, like all of our products, are designed for professional purposes in the industrial automation sector. They are capable of working in the same environment as frequency inverters, power supplies, and induction motors,
which can generate electrical noise. These sensors are designed with
galvanic isolation and high switching speed to prevent interference from
these potential sources of electrical noise. Please do not confuse them with economy series sensors.
