GX-F/H inductive sensor
Rectangular inductive proximity sensors
Industry's no. 1* in stable sensing. This sensor has the longest stable sensing range among comparable rectangular inductive proximity sensors in the industry. The sensor is easy to install. Precise adjustment and control of sensing sensitivity greatly reduces individual sensor differences and variations.
Now it is much easier to adjust sensor positions when using multiple sensors or when sensors have been replaced. The product, e.g. the coil and core has been completely redesigned to provide excellent temperature characteristics. Stable sensing can be obtained regardless of the time of day or season.
Characteristics:
- Built-in amplifier
- Mutual interference prevention
- Oil and water resistant
- Easy to see indicators

Notes:
- The maximum operation distance stands for the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object. The stable sensing range stands for the sensing range for which the sensor can stably detect the standard sensing object even if there is an ambient temperature drift and/or supply voltage fluctuation.
- " I " in the model No. indicates a different frequency type.
Options
| Model No. | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Sensor mounting bracket | MS-GX6-1 | Mounting bracket for the GX-6 type (recommended). Sensors can be mounted closely together for space-saving. | |
| MS-GL6-1 | Mounting brackets for the GX-6 type | ||
| MS-GL6-2 | Sensor mounting brackets for the GL-6 type can be used. Interchange is possible. | ||
| MS-GXL8-4 | Mounting bracket for the GX-8 type | ||
| MS-GXL15 | Mounting bracket for the GX-15 type | ||
| Aluminum sheet | MS-A15F | For GX-FL15□(-P) | Use this when the sensor has to be mounted onto a steel or stainless steel plate because mounting on a metal plate may have a negative effect on the performance. |
| MS-A15H | For GX-HL15□(-P) | ||
| Mounting sleeve | MS-GX8-1×10 [10 pcs. per set] | Mounting sleeve for GX-8 types. When replacing the 3-wire type GXL-8 series (discontinued model) with the GX-8 type, fit the sensor into the mounting sleeve, align the screw holes, and use the screw, washers, and nut to fix the sensor. | |
Applications
- Checking up/down operation of compact molding equipment
