2 companies list this product among what they make. Company figures are quoted from each company's own website; every card states where the relationship came from.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
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.
Common types include inductive sensors for metallic objects, capacitive sensors for non-metallic objects, and photoelectric sensors using light beams. The choice depends on the target material and application requirements.
The nominal sensing distance for standard targets is 5 to 40 mm, but this can vary based on the target material and sensor type. Always verify the specific model's datasheet.
The protection class is IP67, meaning they are dust-tight and protected against immersion. This is suitable for industrial environments, but confirm with the manufacturer for your specific conditions.
Check the datasheet for the exact sensing distance, supply voltage, output current, switching frequency, and other parameters. Ensure compliance with relevant standards like IEC 60947-5-2. Contact the legal manufacturer or supplier for confirmation.
