Introduction to Proximity Sensors

Proximity sensors are devices which detect and respond to an object nearby. They are commonly used in industrial and commercial applications because they detect objects without contact. Proximity sensors are one type of non-contact sensors, which sense the presence or absence of an object without actually touching it. There are many different types of proximity sensors, and each has its own particular design, application field and working principle.

GX-H6A-C5 application field and working principle

The GX-H6A-C5 is an inductive proximity sensors which means it detects a ferrous metal object. This particular model is a short-range inductive proximity sensor with a detection distance of 6 mm. It is designed especially for use in large conveyor systems in harsh industrial applications, such as those that require vibration and shock resistance. It is resistant to temperature fluctuations ranging from -25 to +85°C and is a Raintight (IP67) type sensor.

The GX-H6A-C5 works by the principle of magnetic induction. The sensing element consists of two coils arranged in symmetrical arrangement opposite each other in the sensor housing. These coils are supplied with alternating (AC) electrical current. When a metallic target passes near the sensor, it induces a change in the magnetic field. This change is detected by the input coil resulting in an output signal. The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted by changing the AC frequency.

The GX-H6A-C5 can be used in a variety of industrial applications such as detecting and controlling the movement of parts, monitoring and controlling the production process, and for sensing the presence of hazardous objects. It can also be used in robotics to provide feedback on the distance to an object and for collision avoidance.

The GX-H6A-C5 is an excellent choice for industrial applications and offers reliable and precise measurement of ferrous metal targets. It has a rugged design that is resistant to extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration. Its adjustable adjustable sensitivity range and IP67 protection makes it ideal for use in harsh industrial environments.
