GX-F8A proximity switch NEW

Product Description:

Introducing 8 mm 0.315 in long sensing range type (GX-15 type)

Long range type having a max. operation distance of 8.00mm ± 8% is added to the GX-15 type.

Easy sensor installation (GX-6 type)

The new type of mounting bracket [MS-GX6-1 (optional)] makes mounting of the sensor easy with just one M3 screw. Also, close mounting is possible which contributes to space-saving.

Can be installed with ample space

This sensor has the longest stable sensing range among the same level of rectangular inductive proximity sensors in the industry. It is easy to install the

Variation at the maximum operation distance is within ±8 %

Thorough adjustment and control of sensing sensitivity greatly reduces individual sensor differences and variations.

The work of adjusting sensor positions when using multiple sensors and when sensors have been replaced is much easier.

Temperature characteristics vary within ±8 %

Components such as the sensor coil and core and product design have been totally revised to provide excellent temperature characteristics.

Stable sensing can be obtained regardless of the time of day or the yearly season.

10 times the durability! (Compared to previous models)

The new integrated construction method used provides shock resistance of 10,000 m/s2 (approx. 1,000 G in X, Y and Z directions for three times each), and vibration resistance clears durability tests of between 10 and 500 Hz (3mm 0.118 in amplitude in X, Y and Z directions for 2 hours each). In addition, resistance to impulse noize is approx. three times greater than for previous models.

Highly resistant to water or oil! IP68g protective construction

The new integrated construction method used improves environmental resistance performance.

The IP68g prevents damage to the sensor by stopping water and oil getting inside.

Indicators are easy to see over a wide field of view

A prism with a wide field of view has been developed. This has greatly improved the visibility of the operation indicators.

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.

Conductor thickness doubled to make wiring much easier! (GX-?8 only)

The conductor's thickness was doubled for the GX-?8.

This makes it easier to handle and perform crimping work on the cables. In addition, the tensile strength of the crimping area has become higher.
