CAY Cylindrical Hall Sensors

Description

Hall Sensor Selection

These cylindrical Hall sensors provide normally open NPN or PNP outputs from a 10-30VDC supply. Choose the M8, M12 or M18 mounting size to suit the installation. All listed models have a 10mm nominal sensing distance, 1000Hz response and IP67 protection. Check the sensing arrangement with the actual magnet and mounting. A red LED indicates operation.

Application Conditions

These sensors are intended for ordinary industrial control. Nuclear, gas or power systems requiring exceptional reliability, personal-safety functions, harsh outdoor or contaminated environments, fire or explosion hazards, military use and aerospace require a specifically designed and confirmed configuration.
