RS PRO Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, Cylindrical Sensor, 10 cm Detection Range

RS PRO Diffuse (BGS) Photoelectric Sensor Small Square Design M3 Cylindrical, 10 cm Detection Distance

The Diffuse photelectric sensor from RS PRO includes BGS (background suppression), excellent light reflection measurement sensor using background suppression technology providing stable and reliable sensor detection. The photoelectric sensor has an M3 threaded cylindrical barrel case shape design plus is IP67 rated (waterproof) making the sensor an excellent choice for use in harsh environments. Flexible and easy to operate, reliable object detection, red light source, LED output indicators, 1 Ms response time, universal housing, short circuit, overload, and reverse protection are just a few of the features within the RS PRO Photoelectric sensor.

What is the Diffuse Reflection Photoelectric Sensor

Diffuse reflection sensors are used for the direct detection of an object when the light sent out from the sensor hits the object and is reflected back to the sensor receiver then the diffuse reflection sensor issues a switching signal. The transmitter and the receiver are combined within the sensor in a singular housing. The transmitter sends out a continuous beam of light which can be red light, infrared or laser light.
