Q08 uprox+ factor 1 proximity sensors

The Q08 uprox+ factor 1 sensors, which are designed to detect steel, stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminium at the same rated sensing distance, now offer an extended range of 8 mm.

With no reduction factor, the sensors save time and labour costs over standard ferrite core proximity sensors, which must be adjusted and reinstalled to detect different metal types.

Along with its extended range, the sensor features a compact rectangular housing that makes it suitable for applications where mounting space is limited.

The sensor is equipped with internal shielding that eliminates pre-damping, allowing users to employ the sensor's full switching distance without hindrance - even when the device is mounted on metal surfaces.

An IP68 rating affords greater application flexibility, as the sensor can resist dust, debris and moisture ingress in challenging manufacturing environments.

Two LEDs provide visual indication of the sensor's switching status.
