The Autonics BS5-Y1M-P Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors use a through-beam sensing type with a fixed 5 mm sensing distance, detecting opaque targets as small as ร0.8 mm ร 2 mm. Its hysteresis of โค0.05 mm delivers stable, repeatable performance in fast-paced manufacturing environments like part positioning and label detection.
Operating on 5โ24 VDC ยฑ10% and consuming a maximum of 30 mA, the BS5-Y1M-P offers high-speed response times of 20 ฮผs (Light ON) and 100 ฮผs (Dark ON) with a 2 kHz response frequency. The 940 nm infrared LED ensures reliable detection even under ambient light up to 1,000 lx. Its PNP open collector output integrates seamlessly with PLCs and industrial controllers, while reverse polarity and overcurrent protection enhance operational safety.
Built with a robust PBT + PC housing rated IP50, the Autonics BS5-Y1M-P Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors withstand vibration up to 196 m/sยฒ and shocks up to 15,000 m/sยฒ. Operating reliably from -20ยฐC to 55ยฐC, they are engineered for continuous use in demanding conditions, backed by the proven reliability of the Autonics brand.
The Autonics BS5-Y1M-P Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors are widely used for label detection, component sensing, and position verification in packaging, electronics, and automated assembly lines. Their rapid switching speed supports conveyor sorting, high-speed inspection, and product counting without process delays. Maintenance engineers value the cable-type design for secure, stable installation, while OEMs trust their consistent accuracy and durability for long-term, high-cycle industrial operations.
