Product No.: 170133-090-00 - General Introduction
This product is a heavy-duty cylindrical inductive proximity sensor, specifically designed for extended sensing range applications. It belongs to a family of industrial-grade, non-contact sensors used for detecting metallic objects at a greater distance than standard sensors. The "-090-" suffix is a key identifier, commonly denoting a specific housing size and thread type. This sensor is engineered for harsh industrial environments where robust construction and reliable long-range detection are paramount.
Detailed Parameters
| Parameter Category | Specification | Details / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Housing Style & Size | Cylindrical, M30 x 1.5 mm thread | The "-090-" typically corresponds to a M30 (30mm diameter) threaded barrel. This is a standard large-size housing for heavy-duty sensors. |
| Sensing Distance (Sn) | 15 mm, 20 mm, or 25 mm (Extended Range) | The "170133" base model combined with the large housing suggests an extended sensing range. Common nominal ranges for M30 sensors are 15mm, 20mm, or 25mm. The exact value (e.g., 20mm) would be defined by the full model variant. |
| Housing Length | Approx. 70 - 100 mm | Length varies depending on connection style (e.g., built-in connector or cable gland). |
| Connection Type | 4-pin M12 connector (Standard) or Cable Gland with pre-wired cable | The "-00" suffix often denotes a standard version, likely with a quick-disconnect 4-pin M12 connector for easy installation and replacement. |
| Output Type | PNP, Normally Open (NO) / Normally Closed (NC) selectable (Common) | Often features a switch or wiring scheme to select between NO and NC operation. Available in both 3-wire DC PNP (sourcing) and NPN (sinking) variants. |
| Supply Voltage | 10-30 V DC | Standard industrial DC voltage range. |
| Switching Current | Up to 300 mA | Higher current capacity than smaller sensors, capable of driving small relays or indicators directly. |
| Housing Material | Nickel-plated brass or Stainless steel (AISI 303/304) | Provides excellent mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion, coolants, and oils. |
| Sensing Face Material | PTFE (Teflon) or reinforced plastic (for weld-field immunity) | Many sensors in this size offer a weld-field immune version with a special sensing face to resist spatter and magnetic fields in welding environments. |
| Protection Rating | IP67 (Standard) or IP69K (for high-pressure washdown) | Dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion. IP69K variants are available for food & beverage or pharmaceutical applications. |
| Weight | Approx. 200 - 350 grams | Substantial weight due to the metal housing and internal components, ensuring vibration resistance. |
| Indicator | Multi-color LED (Power & Status) | Usually features a bright LED that changes color (e.g., green for power, yellow for target detected) for easy diagnostics. |
| Key Feature | Extended sensing range, robust metal housing, high switching current, often weld-field immune. | Designed for applications where the target cannot be approached closely, or where the environment is physically demanding. |
Primary Application Scenarios
This sensor is built for demanding applications that require long-range detection and high reliability in tough conditions.
Heavy Machinery & Material Handling:
Pallet & Large Object Detection: Used on forklifts, conveyor transfer points, and automated storage/retrieval systems (ASRS) to detect the presence of metal pallets, racks, or large containers from a safe distance.
Crane Hook & Load Positioning: Monitors the position of a spreader or hook on overhead cranes in steel mills or shipping yards.
Automotive & Welding Manufacturing:
Weld Fixture Clamp Verification: The weld-field immune version is used inside robotic welding cells to confirm that heavy clamping cylinders are in position before initiating a weld cycle, resisting interference from welding currents.
Vehicle Body-in-White (BIW) Positioning: Detects the presence and rough position of a car body on an assembly line skid.
Aggregate & Mining Equipment:
Crusher & Shaker Deck Monitoring: Detects the level of large metal parts or the position of heavy-duty screens and chutes on rock crushers and vibrating decks, where vibration and dust are extreme.
Packaging & Bottling Lines (Washdown Areas):
Metal Can/Bottle Case Detection: The IP69K variant is used in areas requiring frequent high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning (e.g., food & beverage) to detect cases or metal containers on conveyors.
Large Valve & Actuator Position Feedback:
Hydraulic Cylinder End-of-Stroke Detection: Provides a robust position signal for large-bore hydraulic cylinders used in steel rolling mills, paper machines, or dam gate controls, where the mounting point is remote from the stroke path.
