The Autonics BJ50-BDT-P is a BGS reflective type sensor with a precise 10β50mm sensing distance, capable of detecting both opaque and translucent materials. Its background suppression design ensures stable performance by eliminating false triggers from reflective surfaces.
Equipped with a 660nm red LED, it offers clear visual alignment and supports Light ON and Dark ON modes via a simple switch. The built-in sensitivity adjuster allows fine-tuning for different materials and lighting conditions, while its narrow Γ4.5mm light spot ensures pinpoint accuracy in tight spaces.
Operating on 12β24VDC with a low 30mA current draw, it delivers a fast 1.5ms response time and uses a PNP open collector output for easy PLC integration. The IP65-rated housing is built from polycarbonate, stainless steel (SUS304), and nickel-plated brass for durability in dusty or humid environments.

Junior engineers benefit from its simple installation and easy tuning, while senior engineers value its stable detection, narrow beam targeting, and high-speed response. The IP65 protection and robust build make it reliable even in environments with dust or occasional moisture, reducing downtime and maintenance needs.
Trusted for short-range precision sensing, the Autonics BJ50-BDT-P combines compact design, fast response, and background suppression to deliver consistent performance in space-constrained automation projects.
