Square Proximity Sensor | 5mm Sensing Distance | 3-Wire NPN PNP

The GTRIC TL-N5MC1 is a square inductive proximity sensor. It detects metal without contact in factory automation. It has a set 5mm sensing distance and a flat face for easy mounting. This 3-wire sensor includes a 2-meter cable for direct wiring to your controller. Features and Benefits - 5mm sensing distance - This range works well for position detection on conveyor belts and other material handling equipment. - NPN or PNP 3-wire output - Pick the model that fits your control system; NPN switches to ground, PNP switches to the positive supply. - IP67 rated enclosure - This sensor is fully protected from dust and can go into water up to 1 meter, so it works in wet or dirty spots. - Built-in LED indicator - A light on the sensor shows its status, making setup and troubleshooting easier. Applications - Conveyor systems - Find the position of metal bins, parts, or carriers as they move. - Machine automation - Check the exact position of a machine tool, slide, or clamp before it starts working. - Parts handling - Make sure a metal object is in a chute or at the end of a feeder. What It Is This is a square inductive proximity sensor with a 5mm sensing distance. It operates on 10-30V DC and features a 3-wire wiring configuration. The sensor offers both NPN and PNP output types, making it versatile for various control systems. Its metal housing and IP67 protection rating ensure durability in challenging industrial environments. Proximity sensors work by detecting the presence of nearby objects without physical contact, making them ideal for automated processes. Key Uses & Applications This industrial sensor is suitable for applications requiring reliable object detection. Its 5mm sensing distance is useful for precise positioning and counting tasks on production lines. The IP67 rating means it can withstand dust and water ingress, making it appropriate for washdown areas or dusty workshops. Common uses include machine automation, limit sensing, and confirming the presence of components in assembly. The dual NPN/PNP output offers flexibility for integration into different electronics module setups. How to Choose When selecting a proximity sensor, consider the material of the object to be detected. This inductive sensor is designed for metal objects. For non-metal detection, an optical sensor or capacitive sensor would be more appropriate. The 5mm sensing distance is fixed for this model; if a greater range is needed, look for sensors with a larger sensing distance, such as 5 cm. To test a proximity sensor, apply the correct operating voltage and use a known metal object to check for output changes. Ensure the output type (NPN or PNP) matches your control system.
