Datasensing ST 12-C Sensors

The Datasensing ST 12-C Sensors are high-performance inductive proximity sensors designed for precision and reliability in industrial applications. Featuring a standard M12 size with a non-flush mount, these sensors offer a nominal sensing distance of 4mm and an operating range of 0 to 3.24mm. They are equipped with a 2-meter PVC cable and support both NPN and PNP output types with NO/NC output functions, making them versatile for various configurations. Constructed with a robust nickel-plated brass housing, the ST 12-C Sensors are built to withstand harsh environments, with an IP67 mechanical protection rating ensuring resistance to dust and water ingress. The sensors are also certified by Ecolab and Diversey, confirming their compatibility with industrial detergents. With a high switching frequency of 1kHz and a response time of just 0.5ms, these sensors provide rapid and accurate detection. They include essential features such as short-circuit and reverse polarity protection, as well as protection against inductive loads, ensuring reliable operation in demanding conditions. The sensors are equipped with a yellow LED indicator for output state visibility and have a time delay before availability of ? 50ms. They operate within a voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc, with a no-load supply current of ? 10mA and a load current capacity of 200mA. The output voltage drop is minimal at ? 1.8V @100mA, and they can handle a maximum ripple content of ? 10%. Ideal for applications requiring precise proximity detection, the Datasensing ST 12-C Sensors are supplied with two M12x1 nuts for easy installation and have a tightening torque of 6Nm. They are designed to operate efficiently in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial environments.
