Compact M8 inductive proximity sensor for reliable metal detection in tight spaces. The LJ8A32JDZ detects metal targets up to 2 mm away and offers both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) switching modes. Compatible with DC and AC control systems, this approach switch is built for noncontact, maintenance position and presence sensing. Key benefits Accurate, repeatable metal detection at a 2 mm sensing distance for consistent performance in automation and control loops. Noncontact operation reduces wear and mechanical failure compared with mechanical switches. Dual NO/NC output flexibility simplifies integration with different control logic and safety requirements. AC and DC compatibility allows use across a wide range of existing control panels and machines. Small M8 form factor fits into compact assemblies and can be mounted quickly with standard M8 hardware. Key attributes Model: LJ8A32JDZ Type: Inductive proximity sensor (approach switch) Thread size: M8 (compact threaded barrel for easy mounting) Sensing range: 2 mm (metal targets) Output modes: Normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) Power compatibility: DC and AC Target type: Metal objects Typical applications Conveyor and feeder systems: Detect metal parts for indexing, counting, or rejecting components without contact or wear. Machine tool and assembly stations: Provide reliable endoftravel or position sensing for metal fixtures and workpieces. Packaging and robotics: Integrate into compact endofarm tooling and small robots to confirm metal part presence or correct placement. Practical notes Mount the sensor using M8 nuts or standard M8 fittings to position the sensing face toward the target. Allow a small margin around the 2 mm detection range for consistent operation; actual sensing can vary with target material, size, and orientation. Use the NO/NC option to match the sensor output to your control logic, minimizing additional wiring or relay requirements. This approach switch LJ8A32JDZ provides a compact, versatile, and durable solution for reliable metal detection in AC or DC systems where space is limited and noncontact sensing is preferred.
