Explore S51
The S51 series offers a cost-effective solution in M18 photoelectric sensors, with a wide range of operating distances. The diffuse proximity model has a 10cm fixed operating distance with a wide emission spectrum. Also available is a version with a 1 - 40cm adjustable operating distance. Standard retro-reflective models have an operating distance up to 4m while the polarized retro-reflective models, used for reliable detection of reflective objects, are fitted with a sensitivity adjustment and have a 3.5m operating distance. The emitter and receiver models, used for longer operating distances, reach 18 meters. Unlike other 18mm sensors, IDEC-Datasensor S51 sensors have a flat cylindrical housing that offers numerous mounting choices. Plus a wide range of accessories, including the trademarked EASYin™ fast-insertion mounting support with adjustable sensor axis and position, make it easy to design-in these sensors to your current application.
The S51 series of sensors are the most popular photoelectric sensor in the market. With through-beam, retro-reflective, polarized retro-reflective and diffuse modes, S51 sensors are ideal for applications in all industries including packaging, bottling and material handling.
The S51 series is a perfect solution for even the harshest industrial environments. Rugged housing increases resistance against disturbances coming from electrical lines or other electronic devices. And, these sensors boast IP67 mechanical protection, which means they have increased resistance to the penetration of fine dusts or liquids.
The S51 series of affordable sensors offer superior performance and multiple mounting options. This versatility is what makes them the perfect alternative to other M18 sensors.
