Omron TL-Q5MC1-F-Z Proximity Switch
The Omron TL-Q5MC1-F-Z is a compact, high-performance inductive proximity switch designed for reliable, non-contact detection of ferrous metal objects in industrial automation environments. As an inductive sensor, it generates an electromagnetic field and detects when that field is disturbed by a metallic target.
Key features and technical specifications of this model include:
-
Sensing Distance: It features a standard sensing distance of 5 millimeters (mm), which is suitable for many close-range detection tasks.
-
Output Type: This is a DC three-wire sensor. The output is typically configured as PNP, meaning the output transistor switches the positive voltage when a target is detected.
-
Switching Mode: It operates in the Normally Closed (NC) mode. This means the output signal is ON when no metal object is present, and the signal switches OFF when a target is detected within the sensing range.
-
Housing and Shape: The sensor features a square (Q-type) housing, which is often easier to mount and adjust than traditional cylindrical sensors. Its compact size allows for installation in limited spaces.
-
Connection: The -F-Z in the part number indicates that the sensor uses a flexible cable connection, providing ease of wiring to terminal blocks or control panels.
-
Power Supply: It operates on a standard industrial control voltage, typically 10 V DC to 30 V DC.
In summary, the Omron TL-Q5MC1-F-Z is a reliable, square-bodied, inductive proximity sensor that provides a 5 mm sensing distance with a PNP, Normally Closed output signal for precise non-contact metal detection in various automation machinery.
