A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The nominal sensing distance is 2–8 mm for a standard target, as per IEC 60947-5-2. The actual sensing distance depends on the target material, size, and shape. Always verify the effective sensing distance for your specific application with the manufacturer.
No, this is an inductive proximity sensor and it only detects conductive (metal) targets. Non-metallic materials such as plastics, wood, or ceramics will not be detected.
The protection class is IP67 according to IEC 60529, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter depth for a limited time. This makes it suitable for harsh industrial environments.
This sensor is not certified as a safety component unless explicitly stated by the manufacturer. For safety-related functions, use sensors that meet relevant safety standards and have appropriate certifications.
