Panasonic GX-H12B-P Proximity Sensor
The Panasonic GX-H12B-P is a high-quality inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable and precise detection of metallic objects in industrial applications. This sensor is designed to work on non-contact principles, ensuring minimal wear and tear and offering a long operational life with consistent performance. The GX-H12B-P features a 12mm sensing range, making it suitable for medium-range detection tasks in automation systems, machinery, and robotics.
Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, the GX-H12B-P comes in a compact, robust housing that is rated IP67, offering protection against dust, moisture, and other environmental contaminants. This makes it ideal for use in areas where there may be exposure to dirt, water, or chemicals. It operates on a 10–30 VDC power supply, ensuring compatibility with most industrial control systems, and features PNP output, providing easy integration into a variety of automation setups.
The sensor also offers high-speed response and low power consumption, making it suitable for use in fast-paced production environments where quick detection is critical. The GX-H12B-P is perfect for applications that require reliable, efficient, and durable sensing solutions with minimal maintenance needs.
