Industry No. 1* in stable sensing * Based on research conducted by SUNX as of August 2007 among equivalent rectangular inductive proximity sensors.

• Can be installed with ample space
This sensor has the longest stable sensing range among the same level of rectangular inductive proximity sensors in the industry. It is easy to install the sensor.

• Stable sensing! Variation at the maximum operation distance is within ±8 %
Thorough adjustment and control of sensing sensitivity greatly reduces individual sensor differences and variations. The work of adjusting sensor positions when using multiple sensors and when sensors have been replaced has become much easier.

* Not including temperature characteristics.
GX-12 has a variation of 0.64 mm 0.025 in or less for a maximum operation distance of 4 mm 0.157 in

• Stable sensing! Temperature characteristics vary within ±8 %
Components such as the sensor coil and core and product design have been totally revised to provide excellent temperature characteristics.Stable sensing can be obtained regardless of the time of the day or the yearly seasons.

• 10 times the durability! (Compared to previous models)
The new integrated construction method used provides shock resistance of 10,000 m/s2 (approx. 1,000 G in X, Y and Z directions for three times each), and vibration resistance which clears durability tests of between 10 and 500 Hz (3 mm 0.118 in amplitude in X, Y and Z directions for 2 hours each).In addition, resistance to impulse noize is approx. three times greater than for previous models.

• Highly resistant to water or oil! IP68g protective construction
The new integrated construction method used improves environmental resistance performance.The IP68g prevents damage to the sensor by stopping water and oil from getting inside.

• Indicators are easy to see over a wide field of view
A prism with a wide field of view has been developed.This has greatly improved the visibility of the operation indicators.

• Tightening strength increased with no damage!
A metal sleeve has been inserted! It is possible to tighten up to 0.7 N•m *.
* Maximum tightening torque for M3 screw.

• Conductor thickness doubled to make wiring much easier! (GX-8 only)
The conductor's thickness was doubled for the GX-8. This makes it easier to handle and perform crimping work on the cables.In addition, the tensile strength of the crimping area has become higher.
