The S3204R is an inductive ring sensor for detecting metallic objects passing through its 22 mm internal diameter. It operates on a 10-30 Vdc supply with NPN or PNP, NO+NC outputs, and features adjustable sensitivity, a 100 ms delay ON/OFF switch, and built-in short circuit and reverse polarity protection. The sensor has a plastic housing with IP65 protection, operates between -25°C and +70°C, and has a switching current of 200 mA with a voltage drop under 1.8 Vdc. Its operating frequency is 600-800 Hz, and repeatability is under 0.3 mm. It is supplied with a 2-meter prewired cable and does not support flush mounting.
Features:
In inductive ring sensors, the sensing area is located inside the ring. These sensors are designed to detect metallic masses entering or passing through the ring. They are ideal for sensing, counting and checking of small metal parts such as: screws, washers, nuts etc. and the control, detection, position, inspection and automation of machine tools & manufacturing systems.
They operate on a 10-30 Vdc supply and offer NPN or PNP, NO+NC outputs. They are sealed in a rugged, plastic housing with a protection degree of IP 65. All versions have short circuit and reverse polarity protection and are available in either prewired cable or connector output connection. Each unit is supplied with a sensitivity adjustment and a delay ON/OFF switch that fixes the output pulse for 100mS. This makes them ideal for detection of fast moving small metal objects. Special version NAMUR output is available.
The operating distance of the sensor depends on the actuator shape and size and is strictly linked to the nature of the metal. For minimum target size, see Table 1.
