The Autonics BS5-T1M Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensor uses a through-beam sensing method with a fixed 5mm sensing distance for accurate detection of opaque targets. It can detect objects as small as Γ0.8mm Γ 2mm and maintains a hysteresis of β€0.05mm for precision positioning. The integrated infrared LED (940nm) ensures stable performance even under ambient illumination up to 1,000lx.
With an ultra-fast response time of 20Β΅s in Light ON mode and 100Β΅s in Dark ON mode, and a 2kHz response frequency, this model supports rapid automation tasks without missed detections. It operates within a 5β24VDC Β±10% supply range, consuming just 30mA, and uses an NPN open collector output for compatibility with PLCs and control panels. Built-in reverse polarity and short-circuit protection circuits enhance operational safety in industrial setups.
The BS5-T1M Photomicro Sensor is engineered with a PBT case and PC sensing part for durability, offering vibration resistance up to 196m/sΒ² and shock resistance up to 15,000 m/sΒ². Rated to IP50, it performs reliably in dust-prone environments. Learn more at Autonics Sensors & Controllers for complete specifications and related models.
