Panasonic GX-H12A Proximity Sensor
The Panasonic GX-H12A is a high-quality inductive proximity sensor that offers reliable, non-contact detection of metallic objects in a wide range of industrial applications. This sensor operates on inductive technology, ensuring that it only detects the presence of metallic objects, providing precise and consistent performance over time without the need for physical contact. The GX-H12A features a 12mm sensing range, making it suitable for medium-range detection in systems where accuracy and durability are required.
The GX-H12A sensor is built with a compact, robust design and has an IP67 rating, ensuring its resistance to dust, moisture, and other harsh environmental factors. This makes it highly suitable for use in challenging industrial environments where the sensor may be exposed to dirt, water, and chemicals. It operates with a 10–30 VDC power supply and supports a PNP output, providing easy integration with most industrial control systems and automation setups.
Thanks to its fast response time and low power consumption, the GX-H12A sensor is perfect for high-speed applications and environments where efficiency and energy savings are important. The sensor's compact form factor allows for easy installation in tight spaces, and its durable construction ensures a long service life even in demanding conditions. This combination of performance, reliability, and energy efficiency makes the GX-H12A an excellent choice for a wide variety of industrial and automation applications.
