RS PRO introduces the fantastic fibre optic sensor with PNP output. Fibre optic sensors are a type of proximity sensor that has an optical fibre connected to a light source to allow for detection in tight spaces or where a small profile is beneficial. The optical fibre is a transparent fibre made of glass (silica) or plastic with a diameter slightly thicker than a human hair, this fibre transmits light between the two ends to produce an electrical signal.
Features and Benefits
Optional high performance output time delay of 0ms, 10 ms or 40ms to suit suit your needs
Three optional modes for high speed response time as well of <200us (Fine mode); <300us (Turbo mode); <550us (Super)
Operating temperature of -10°C to 50°C with no freezing to be able to meet your needs in a variety of environments
Vibration resistance of 10 to 55 Hz with a 0.5mm double amplitude for 2 hours each in X, Y, and Z directions
Shock resistance of 500 m/s2 for 3 times each in X, Y, and Z directions
Relative air humidity of 35∼85% with no condensation
Operating supply voltage of 12...24 VDC
Comes with circuit protection technology including surge protection, reverse polarity and overload protection providing safety for yourself and your tool
PNP sensors produce a positive output to your industrial controls input
Applications
Fibre optic sensors are used in a number of different sensing applications. In mechanical properties testing, fibre optical sensors are used to measure mechanical strain. They can also be used to measure acceleration, velocity, pressure, temperature and displacement. Used in a variety of workplaces including
