The Autonics BS5-L2M-P is a through-beam type Photomicro Sensor with a 5 mm sensing distance that detects opaque targets as small as Ø0.8 mm × 2 mm. Its infrared LED (940 nm) ensures stable detection in ambient light conditions up to 1,000 lx, while a hysteresis of ≤0.05 mm guarantees repeatable accuracy for precision tasks. With a response speed of 20 μs Light ON and 100 μs Dark ON, plus a 2 kHz response frequency, it’s ideal for high-speed conveyor and pick-and-place applications.
Engineered for durability, the sensor operates on 5–24 VDC ±10% with a 30 mA current draw, features PNP open collector output, and includes reverse polarity and short-circuit protection. The PBT housing with PC sensing face provides IP50 protection, resisting vibration up to 196 m/s² and shock up to 15,000 m/s². For more models and details, visit Autonics Sensors & Controllers.
Maintenance teams value its connector-type design for quick replacement, while its high-speed response allows accurate detection of moving objects without delays. This reliability helps reduce downtime, maintain production consistency, and lower maintenance costs over time.
For dependable, long-term performance in demanding environments, engineers trust the Autonics BS5-L2M-P Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensor.
