The Autonics BS5-L1M-P is an industrial-grade Photomicro Sensor designed to deliver stable and high-speed performance in compact automation setups. Featuring a through-beam sensing method with a fixed 5mm sensing distance, it reliably detects opaque objects as small as Γ0.8mm Γ 2mm. Its infrared LED (940nm) ensures accurate sensing even in environments with up to 1,000lx ambient illumination, and its hysteresis is tightly controlled to within β€0.05mm, delivering repeatable accuracy in precision tasks.
Engineered for high-speed operations, the sensor responds in just 20ΞΌs (Light ON) and 100ΞΌs (Dark ON), with a switching frequency up to 2kHz, making it suitable for dynamic equipment and fast-moving processes. Operating on a wide 5β24VDC Β±10% range with low 30mA current consumption, the PNP open collector output allows smooth integration with industrial control systems. The device is equipped with reverse polarity and short-circuit protection circuits for reliable field operation. Built with a PBT body and PC sensing surface, the unit is IP50-rated and designed to withstand vibration (196 m/sΒ²) and shock (15,000 m/sΒ²).
