📝Description
This M5 threaded Magnet sensor is specifically designed for easy mounting in threaded holes as small as M5, making it versatile for applications where compact size and robust performance are essential. Capable of switching loads up to 10W, it is ideal for scenarios requiring frequent adjustments in positioning. Depending on the type of magnet and AT band chosen, the sensor offers a range of activating distances, ensuring precise operation tailored to specific application needs.
To accommodate diverse integration requirements, the sensor can be customized with non-standard connectors upon request, facilitating seamless integration into various industrial and consumer electronic systems. Prior to shipment, rigorous 100% testing is conducted on each sensor to validate its performance across critical parameters including Operate AT, Release AT, Static Contact Resistance, and Variable Contact Resistance. This meticulous testing process ensures that every sensor meets stringent quality standards, guaranteeing reliable and consistent performance upon installation.
M5 threaded sensors like this brass variant are particularly well-suited for applications demanding durability and dependable performance, such as pneumatic cylinder end position sensing. As an omni-polar device, the sensor responds equally to both north and south magnetic poles, providing flexibility in magnet orientation to suit different operational environments and requirements.
Engineers can optimise this threaded sensor functionality by selecting the appropriate AT band, magnet strength, and operating axis, thereby ensuring precise control over switching operations. This customisation minimizes the risk of unintended switching events, enhancing overall system reliability and operational efficiency in critical industrial settings. More information can be found in our actuation distance guide.
This M5 threaded cylindrical sensor combines compact design, customizable features, and rigorous testing protocols to deliver reliable switching solutions for demanding applications. Its robust construction, adaptability, and consistent performance make it an ideal choice where reliability, precision, and durability are paramount considerations.
