Proximity Sensors: GX-F12A-R Application Field and Working Principle

Proximity sensors are non-contact devices for the detection of an object near its sensing surface. Proximity sensors detect the presence of nearby objects without physical contact with the object. This makes it possible to detect objects that are electrically non-conductive, transparent, and/or too small to be seen. Proximity sensors are versatile tools often used for door or switch detection, limit detection, identification, counting, positioning, testing, and automatic separation control. Some of the most popular applications include safety devices used in conjunction with automatic machinery, electronic equipment, fire and burglar alarms, and sorting equipment.

One example of a common proximity sensor is the GX-F12A-R sensor. This device is a non-contact AC-operated limit switch. Its small, lightweight design ensures easy installation. The GX-F12A-R is ideal for use in areas with limited space requirements due to its small size.

The GX-F12A-R is capable of operating at temperatures up to 100°C. This allows the device to operate for a wide range of applications. The working voltage of the GX-F12A-R is AC200 to 230V, and the operating current is 10mA or less. The GX-F12A-R has a detection distance of 12mm and a response time of 4ms. It has a maximum switching power of AC250V/1.0A and a maximum carrying current of AC30V/2.2A.

The GX-F12A-R has two operational modes: normally open and normally closed. In the normally open mode, the device is open in the absence of a target. When a target is present within the detection range of the GX-F12A-R, the device will close. This can then be used to activate an alarm, open a switch, or control an automated system. In the normally closed mode, the GX-F12A-R will be closed when a target is present within the 12mm detection range. This mode can be used to prevent an alarm, close a switch, or control an automated system.

The GX-F12A-R uses a combination of sensing technology to detect the presence of a target. The device uses a capacitor-type sensing element that is charged with alternating current. When a target is present within the detection range, the device will detect a change in capacitance, causing the device to switch. The GX-F12A-R also uses a surround-IR technology that uses an infrared light beam to detect the presence of a target within its range. This additional sensing technology increases the reliability of the device.

The GX-F12A-R is a versatile device that can be used in a variety of applications. Its small size allows for easy installation in areas with limited space requirements, while its high temperature rating allows it to operate in a wide range of applications. The GX-F12A-R is capable of detecting targets within its 12mm detection range, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring accurate and reliable detection. The device is also capable of being operated in either normally open or normally closed modes, making it a suitable choice for controlling door switches, limit switches, and automated systems.
