Proximity Sensors
Proximity sensors are used to detect physical objects that are in close proximity to the sensor. They can be either active or passive, and can detect objects with magnetic, capacitive, photoelectric, ultrasound, or infrared radiation sensors. The E2EF-QX3D1 2M is a passive inductive type of proximity sensor that can be used for a variety of applications.
Inductive proximity sensors operate by creating an electromagnetic field and detecting any changes in the field due to an object’s presence. In this case, the E2EF-QX3D1 2M has a sensing range of 2 mm, making it ideal for short distance applications. It is composed of a coil and a ferrite core, which create an alternating magnetic field, and when an object enters this field, the current in the coil is modified, thus giving an output signal to indicate the presence of an object. The sensor can also be adjusted with selecting the type of the sensing material, and this is done by setting the sensitivity control switch.
The E2EF-QX3D1 2M can be used in a variety of applications such as motion control, automation, flow monitoring, metal detection, and other areas where short-distance detection is required. This type of proximity sensor is ideal for detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as other non-metallic objects. It is also very versatile and can be used in applications with difficult environmental conditions, as it is protected against vibrations, dust, and water.
In motion control, the E2EF-QX3D1 2M can be used to detect movement of objects or machines, and in automation, it can be used to detect the presence of objects and trigger automation processes. In flow monitoring, it can detect the presence of an object in a flow, and in metal detection, it can detect when a metallic object passes in its detection zone. Furthermore, its small size and compact design allow it to be installed in tight locations and hard to reach places.
The E2EF-QX3D1 2M is a reliable and cost-effective solution for short-distance detection applications. With its wide range of applications and adjustable sensitivity, it can provide a reliable and accurate detection for a variety of applications. This makes the E2EF-QX3D1 2M a great choice for businesses looking for an effective and efficient proximity sensor.
