Feature

When proximity switch is close to some target object, it will send out control signal.
It is a component widely used in automatic control industry for detecting, controlling, and noncontact switching.
It's widely used in machine, paper making, light industry for limiting station, orientation taking count, speeding trial ect.
Supply Voltage: DC 6-36V Current Output: 300mA(resistive load); Operating Temperature: -25C to +65C (Non-freezing Condition); Cable Length: about 1m / 39.4"; Thread Size: 18mm; Detecting Distance: 8mm.
Package List: 1 x Inductive Proximity Switch; Model: LJ18A3-8-Z/BX; Wire Type: DC 3 Wire Type; Theory: Capacitance Sensor; Output Type: NPN NO(Normal Open)

Description

Description:
- Material density. Most of plastic material is not detectable by a capacitive proximity sensor at a proper distance, sometimes becasue the density is low , sometimes because the plastic is too thin, for example, if you detect an empty 1mm thick plastic bottle, the detecting distance may be less than 2mm , if you fill the bottle with water ,then the detection distance could be longer than 5mm.
- The Sensitivity, when the sensor cannot work, there is a sensitivity-adjustment screw on the back of the sensor, you can turn it clockwise with a flat head screwdriver to increase the sensitivity of the sensor.
- Load Current . High output current can result in prodct failue, Inductive load (for instance, motors which draw high current when started) is not allowed to be directly connected with this sensor, because this sensor can only provide 300mA current for the load , you can use this sensor to provide a low level signal for a PLC which requires very little current ,or you can control a small relay that requires a coil current less than 100mA.
- 100% Brand new and testing is fine.
