Model MDS-5T-*S Inductive Sensor

Application

  • Iron sheet detection
  • Positioning of the processing machines
  • There is no space, the magnetic detection of a narrow place
  • Position detection of the moving table and metal pallets

Features

  • Small flat inductive sensor with a detection surface of 16 mm, a case of 6 mm in thickness, and a detection distance of 5 mm (Upper surface detection type).
  • Equipped with a small connector for simple mounting and wiring.
  • The MDS-5T-*S features a keyway on the case side for an easy mounting in one touch.
  • You may also use the mounting bracket (Sold separately).
  • It can be attached directly to metal.

International Standards

  • Our products do not have overseas safety regulations such as CE mark, UL standard, EN standard etc.
  • Products is compliant to the RoHS directive.

* Please consult about "change of specification" and "request of specification" of the product.

Precautions During Use

Influence of Surrounding Metal

If there are metal objects around the inductive sensor, leave at least the space indicated in the figure below between them and the sensor.

Mutual Interference

If you use a number of the same product, separate them at least by the distances shown in the figure below to prevent reciprocal interference.
(Sensors with a different frequency are indicated with a B after the model name.)
