GX-MK12A-Z

Proximity sensors are devices used to detect the presence of an object within a certain range of its position without any physical contact. Examples of common proximity sensors include photoelectric sensors, capacitive sensors, and inductive sensors.

The GX-MK12A-Z Proximity Sensor is an industrial proximity sensor designed for detecting the presence of magnetic objects such as metal objects or magnets. This type of proximity sensor operates on the principle of magnetic induction, which relies on the alteration of a magnetic field. It can detect objects in a range of up to 50mm in front of the sensor.

The GX-MK12A-Z Proximity Sensor has a wide range of applications. It is typically used in industries such as automotive, manufacturing, materials handling, and automation. In the automotive industry, it can be used to detect the presence of metallic objects for safety and security purposes. In the manufacturing and materials handling industries, it can be used to detect objects in machining operations or robotic applications, as well as detect the presence of objects in conveyor systems.

The working principle of the GX-MK12A-Z Proximity Sensor relies on magnetic induction. When a magnetic object passes near the sensing face of the sensor, a field is created. This field is detected and then amplified by the internal electronics of the device. The electronic circuitry then acts as a trigger to instruct the control circuitry of the system to take some action.

The GX-MK12A-Z Proximity Sensor is designed to be easy to use and cost-effective. It is a reliable and efficient solution for detecting objects in industrial applications. Furthermore, its robust construction and wide temperature range make it suitable for a variety of applications.
