Improved performance, environmental resistance,

BASIC PERFORMANCE
About four times more robust in tightening
Long sensing range
As the sensor can be securely tightened, it does not get
loose due to vibration or shock.
GX-12MLU(B)/N12ML(B) feature 1.6 times longer
sensing range than previous model [GX-12ML(B)]. It can
be mounted at a sufficient distance from the object.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE
FUNCTIONS
Spatter-resistant type available DC 2-wire type
Visible 2-color indicator
As the enclosure is entirely
coated by fluorine resin, the
sensor can be safely used
at a place where welding
spatters fly around.
Both the pigtail cable and
the mating cable are also
spatter-resistant.
The normally open type [GX-(F)□U(-J)] is equipped with
a 2-color indicator. (The normally closed type and GX-N□
have the operation indicator
instead.)
The operation is easily
observable from any direction
because the entire sensor
tail (transparent, GX-5SU(B):
enclosure) lights up.
GX-F□U-J
VARIETIES
Compact size: ø5.4 mm ø0.213 in
Simple wiring
GX-5SU(B) is just 5.4
mm 0.213 in in diameter,
the smallest in existing
DC two-wire sensors. It
saves you space.
The wiring cost is considerably reduced as it is DC 2wire type.
Further, each of GX-12M(L)U(B),
GX-18M(L)U(B),
GX-30M(L)U(B)
is available as a pigtailed
model that makes
replacement easy
Pigtailed type
and quick.

APPLICATIONS

FIBER
SENSORS
Detecting traveling aluminum pallets
Controlling depth of drilling
It can reliably detect even aluminum
pallets because of its long
sensing range.
By detecting the dog, the sensor decides
the depth of the
drilled hole.
Positioning object at welding station
(GX-F□U-J only)
It can be safely used even where welding
sparks (spatter) fly around.

temperature drift and/or supply voltage fluctuation.
3)It is the leakage current when the output is in the OFF state.
4)The maximum load current varies depending on the ambient temperature. Refer to “I/O CIRCUIT AND WIRING DIAGRAMS” for more details.
5)When the cable is extended, the residual voltage becomes larger.
6)The given weight includes the weight of two nuts and one toothed lock washer.

•The sensor must be connected to a power supply via a load.
If the sensor is connected to a power supply without a load,
the short-circuit protection makes the sensor inoperable.
(The output stays in the OFF state and the indicator does
not light up.) In this case, rectify by connecting the power
supply via a load. Now, the sensor becomes operable.
Further, take care that if the power supply is connected with
reverse polarity without a load, the sensor will get damaged.

•The sensing range is specified for the standard sensing

obtained by multiplying with the correction coefficient
