Compact Inductive Proximity Sensor

The GX series of compact inductive proximity sensors is a high-performance, easy to use solution for your metal detection needs. It features a robust mounting area that has been improved to accept a higher tightening torque than that of conventional models. The series features simple a 3-wire DC hookup for quick integration. In addition, the wiring is highly flexible so it is suitable for applications where repeated motion will occur. A bright, orange indicator at the base of the sensor provides the user with easy verification of the output status. A wide range of units is available from the ultra-thin GX-3S(B), just 3.8mm in diameter, to the compact but long-range GX-8ML(B), with a 2mm detecting distance.
