Rectangular-shaped Inductive Proximity Sensor GX-F/H

CE Approved

Features

Can be installed with ample space

This sensor has the longest stable sensing range among the same level of rectangular inductive proximity sensors in the industry. It is easy to install the sensor.

Type		Maximum operation distance	Stable sensing range
Type		Maximum operation distance	GX-F/H series	Conventional model
GX-□6		1.6 mm 0.063 in	0 to 1.3 mm 0 to 0.051 in	0 to 1.2 mm 0 to 0.047 in
GX-□8		2.5 mm 0.098 in	0 to 2.1 mm 0 to 0.083 in	0 to 1.8 mm 0 to 0.709 in
GX-□12		4.0 mm 0.157 in	0 to 3.3 mm 0 to 0.130 in	0 to 3.0 mm 0 to 0.118 in
GX-□15		5.0 mm 0.197 in	0 to 4.2 mm 0 to 0.165 in	0 to 4.0 mm 0 to 0.157 in
	Long sensing range	8.0 mm 0.315 in	0 to 6.7 mm 0 to 0.264 in	0 to 6.4 mm 0 to 0.252 in

Variation at the maximum operation distance is within ±8 %

Thorough adjustment and control of sensing sensitivity greatly reduces individual sensor differences and variations.
The work of adjusting sensor positions when using multiple sensors and when sensors have been replaced is much easier.

Example: GX-□8

Variation at the maximum operation distance is within ±8 %

Temperature characteristics vary within ±8 %

Components such as the sensor coil and core and product design have been totally revised to provide excellent temperature characteristics.
Stable sensing can be obtained regardless of the time of day or the yearly season.

* Typical

10 times the durability! (Compared to conventional models)

The new integrated construction method used provides shock resistance of 10,000 m/s² (approx. 1,000 G in X, Y and Z directions for three times each), and vibration resistance clears durability tests of between 10 and 500 Hz (3 mm 0.118 in double amplitude in X, Y and Z directions for 2 hours each). In addition, resistance to impulse noise is approx. three times greater than for conventional models.

Highly resistant to water or oil! IP68G^* protective construction

Indicators are easy to see over a wide field of view

A prism with a wide field of view has been developed. This has greatly improved the visibility of the operation indicators.

Tightening strength increased with no damage! (excluding GX-□6)

A metal sleeve has been inserted.
It prevents the sensor from being damaged by tightening too much.

Conductor thickness doubled to make wiring much easier! (GX-□6/GX-□8 only)

The conductor's thickness was doubled for the GX-□6/GX-□8. This makes it easier to handle and perform crimping work on the cables. In addition, the tensile strength of the crimping area has become higher.
