- The Magnetic Reed Switch Proximity Sensor M12 features a 16mm design, delivering a compact size for easy installation in a variety of applications. - It senses proximity within a defined distance to detect the presence or absence of magnetic fields. - With NPN and PNP output options, it provides flexible connections to different control systems. - The self-adjust function adapts to varying operating conditions, ensuring stable performance. - Being normally open (LHL18 18NO), it starts to operate when a magnetic field approaches, enabling reliable proximity-based detection. Use scenarios - Industrial automation: detect the position of magnetized parts on a conveyor or assembly line, triggering downstream processes or quality checks. - Equipment safety and interlocks: monitor magnetically latched doors or hatches on machinery to ensure safe operation and status signaling. - Robotic and automation systems: align or verify magnet-equipped components during handling or pick-and-place tasks for precise control.
