GX-30MU-C5

Proximity sensors are electromagnetic sensors used to detect the presence of objects without physical contact. A Proximity sensor will sense the presence of objects by detecting the physical changes in the electrical field or magnetic field around the object. GX-30MU-C5 is a type of proximity sensor that uses ultrasonic sound waves to detect objects.

The GX-30MU-C5 consists of a transmitter and receiver unit with a wavelength of 30mm. It is a two-output type that can detect objects up to a distance of 500mm. The largest feature of this sensor is that it is highly resistant to contaminants and other environmental influences as it is made to withstand moisture and dust.

Application Field

The GX-30MU-C5 proximity sensor is primarily used in industrial automation systems to detect objects. It can be used in machines where a precise detection of objects is required such as machining centers, robot arms, conveyor systems and various industrial process systems. It can also be used in medical and scientific research laboratories, as it is accurate and can detect small objects and particles.

Working Principle

The GX-30MU-C5 works based on an ultrasonic transceiver principle. The transmitter unit sends out ultrasonic waves into the atmosphere and the receiver unit detects sound waves reflected back from the object. The reflecting angle and distance of the object from the sensor is then calculated by analyzing the frequency of the sound returning back to the sensor. The output of the sensor is then given based on these parameters.

The GX-30MU-C5 also has a built-in amplifier, so it is also suitable for low powered applications as it can save power and money. It also has an adjustable detection distance and sensitivity, so it is perfect for situations where a precise detection is required.

Conclusion

The GX-30MU-C5 is a versatile and reliable ultrasonic proximity sensor designed for industrial automation systems. It is highly resistant to contaminants and other environmental influences, has an adjustable detection distance and sensitivity and also has a built-in amplifier for low power applications.
