The Autonics BJ50-BDT is engineered with a BGS reflective sensing type, providing a stable detection range from 10mm to 50mm for opaque and translucent materials. A visible 660nm Red LED ensures easy alignment, while the fast 1.5ms response time supports high-speed production lines. Operating on a 12β24VDC power supply, the sensor consumes just 30mA, offering energy-efficient performance. The IP65 rating, combined with a durable polycarbonate and ABS housing, guarantees reliable use in dusty or moisture-prone environments. An NPN open collector output makes it easy to integrate with industrial PLC systems, and the compact cable-type design simplifies installation in tight machine layouts.
In practical use, the BJ50-BDT is trusted for applications such as product detection on conveyors, presence sensing in robotic grippers, and accurate counting in packaging systems. Electronics and component assembly units deploy this model to detect small parts, while training centers prefer it for demonstrating advanced sensor functions to students. Its compact size, stable background suppression, and robust construction make it a reliable choice across diverse industries.
For buyers sourcing from wholesalers, dealers, and distributors, the Autonics BJ50-BDT offers strong value thanks to its balance of detection accuracy, ruggedness, and affordability. Many engineers also compare 50 BDT sensor options when looking for equivalents, but the proven performance of the BJ50 series makes it a preferred selection.
