โš™๏ธ How to select the right Metal Face Sensor
1
Housing Size
Choose diameter based on your machine mounting hole โ€” M8 for tight spaces, M18/M30 for longer range
2
Sensing Distance
How far must the sensor detect the metal target? M8 = up to 4mm, M18 = up to 12mm, M30 = up to 20mm
3
Output Type
PNP for most PLCs (sinking input). NPN for older Japanese machines. NO = output ON when detected
4
Connection
M8/M12 plug for easy replacement. Fixed cable for vibration-prone or wet environments. IP68/IP69K for washdown
