What is MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FN Optical Sensor?

A MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FN optical sensor is an industrial, photoelectric sensor used for a wide variety of applications. The “MS46SR” part of the name stands for MicroSwitch Series 46, the “Q2” stands for the phototransistor type it uses, and “R” stands for the type of circuit it has (in this case, a normally open). The “NO” stands for nominally open, meaning it is close to being open (but not exactly). Finally, “FN” stands for fluorescent operation.Essentially, an MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FN is a type of device that converts light energy into electrical energy. It is a non-contact device, meaning it does not require physical contact between it and its target in order to work. This makes it a very reliable and popular type of sensor in industrial settings.

Application Fields of MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FN

MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FNs are used in a wide variety of applications. Some of the more common uses are:

• Position sensing - MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FNs can be used to detect the position of a target. This could be used, for example, to detect the presence of objects in a production line or a movement in a robotic arm.
• Level sensing - MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FNs can be used to detect changes in levels (of liquids, for example) in tanks and pipes.
• Speed sensing - MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FNs can be used to detect the speed of moving objects, such as in a conveyor belt.
• Flow sensing - MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FNs can be used to detect changes in flow rates of fluids or gasses.
• Presence/absence detection - MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FNs can be used to detect the presence or absence of objects in an area, for example, to detect whether a machine part is present on a conveyor or not.

In short, MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FNs can be used in any situation where the presence or absence of an object needs to be detected, or a change in the speed, level or flow of an object needs to be monitored.

Working Principle of MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FN

The working principle behind MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FNs is simple. The device consists of two main parts - a light source (on the one side) and a photosensor (on the other). The light source emits light that is then intercepted by the photosensor. Depending on the type of sensor, the photosensor will either be a photodiode or phototransistor.When a target (such as an object or an area of flow) comes into contact with the light source, the light is either blocked or reflected in a certain way, which is then detected by the photosensor. This in turn triggers an electrical output from the photosensor, which is then used to detect the presence or absence of the target, as well as any changes in speed, level or flow. The MS46SR-20-435-Q2-R-NO-FN is a very versatile type of sensor, which can be used for a wide range of applications. It is a reliable and cost-effective way of detecting objects, changes in speed, level or flow, without the need for physical contact between the sensor and its target.
