UM30-214114

Proximity sensors are devices used in automation and robotics for determining the presence or absence of objects without any physical contact. They are also used to detect the presence of an object but not its size, shape, or other physical characteristics. The most common type of proximity sensor is the inductive proximity sensor. One of the most popular inductive proximity sensors available on the market today is the UM30-214114 manufactured by NBB Automation Systems. This article will discuss the application field as well as the working principle of the UM30-214114 proximity sensor.

Application Fields

The UM30-214114 proximity sensor is designed for use in a variety of applications. These include accuracy positioning, object detection, and start/stop commands. The sensor is also usable for applications that involve harsh conditions, such as high temperatures and vibration. It is well-suited for use in industrial automation, process control, and robotics. Its wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +100°C) and vibration resistance makes it an ideal choice for industrial applications.

Working Principle

The UM30-214114 operates on the principle of inductive sensing. This means that it generates an electromagnetic field between the device’s sensing face and the object being sensed. When the object crosses into this field, a signal is transmitted to the device, providing an indication that the object is present. The sensor is triggered when the object enters the sensing range, the range of which can be adjusted by the user.

The UM30-214114 also includes an optional Hysteresis circuit that provides a stable output when the sensor is triggered, even when the object moves or vibrates. This eliminates the possibility of false triggering due to interference from any other sources or the environment. The hysteresis feature also ensures that the sensor is only triggered when the object is completely within the sensing range.

Conclusion

The UM30-214114 proximity sensor from NBB Automation Systems is a reliable and versatile device that can be used in a variety of applications. Its wide temperature and vibration resistance make it ideal for industrial applications. It operates on the principle of inductive sensing and is triggered when the object enters the sensing range. The optional Hysteresis circuit ensures that the device will only be triggered when the object is completely within the sensing range. With these features, the UM30-214114 can provide a reliable and accurate indication of the presence of an object in the sensing range.
