The Garantta cylindrical M12 inductive sensor has functions such as short-circuit protection, reverse polarity protection, overload protection, etc. (DC), and the detection surface and housing are designed with stainless steel integration, which improves the impact resistance and wear resistance performance. In addition, the red LED indicator light can conveniently display the output status of the sensor.
Characteristics of M12 inductive sensor
(1) Simple structure: no movable electrical contacts and long life.
(2) High sensitivity: The output signal is strong, and the voltage sensitivity can reach hundreds of millivolts per millimeter.
(3) Large resolution: can feel small mechanical displacements and small angle changes.
(4) Good repeatability and linearity: Within a certain displacement range, the output characteristics have good linearity, and the output is stable.
(5) Generality: The thread size of M12 is very common in industrial applications, making it easy to install and replace




Applications of inductive proximity sensor
Inductive sensors have outstanding advantages such as simple structure, fast dynamic response, and easy non-contact measurement. And it's currently widely used in metallurgy, petroleum, chemical industry, coal, cement, food, and other industries.
Installation precautions on M12 Inductive Sensor
1. Installation of spiral sensor: Do not use excessive torque to tighten the sensor during installation.
2. Installation of cylindrical sensors: When using adjustment screws, please use a tightening torque of 2-4 kgf-cm for installation.
Note: T-torque (2kgf cm 3. Protection of sensor leads: When installing the sensor, please leave the lead position about 10cm away and fix it with a wire clamp to prevent the sensor leads from being damaged by external forces.
4. Prevent mutual interference between sensors: When sensors are installed opposite or in parallel, please install them with a larger size to avoid mutual interference and misoperation. Note: S-detection distance, D-sensor diameter
5. DC sensors should use insulated transformers and ensure a stable power supply ripple. Prevent damage or misoperation of the sensor when power lines or power lines pass around the sensor leads.
6. Place the metal tube over the sensor lead and ground it.
7. Please set the sensor usage distance within the rated distance to avoid being affected by temperature and voltage.
8. It is strictly prohibited to connect wires with electricity, and the wiring should be strictly in accordance with the output circuit schematic diagram of the wiring diagram.
9. To ensure the reliability and longevity of the action, please avoid temperatures outside the relevant regulations (outdoor) conditions. Although the proximity sensor is a water-resistant structure, if it is used with a cover, do not let water and water-soluble cutting oil splash on it, which can improve reliability and longevity. Please also avoid using chemical agents, especially in climates with strong alkali, acid, nitric acid, hot concentrated sulfuric acid, etc. If users need special requirements such as waterproof, oil proof, acid resistant, alkali resistant, high temperature resistant sensors or other specifications, they should specify them when ordering, and customization is acceptable.
