Use with confidence at any time and anywhere Have you ever thought that sensing was simple, but then when you tried to use an rectangular inductive proximity sensor, the sensing was not stable? It is because SUNX is the leading manufacturer of inductive proximity sensors that we have been able to accumulate our sensor technology to develop high-precision inductive proximity sensors that can be used at any time and anywhere. The requirements of our customers have been accommodated by basic performance which is not to be found with other manufacturers.

Answer of GX-F/H series
Maximum operation distance variation: 0.4 mm 0.016 in or less
We’re frustrated because sensing results weren’t stable. 1 And the screw mounting method makes it difficult to adjust the sensor position.

Identifying type of workpiece by palette dogs
]
iThe positions of rectangular inductive proximity sensors which are installed using screws cannot be adjusted, and so they have been designed with as short sensing ranges as possible to minimize variations caused by the sensing range. iThe sensor used as a replacement for maintenance has a longer sensing range, so that not only the dog but also the base was detected, meaning that position adjustment is necessary.

Answer of GX-F/H series
Industry No.1
Stable sensing! Variation at the maximum operation distance is within ⴣ8 % Maximum operation distance variation: 0.4 mm 0.016 in or less*
0.4 mm 0.016 in or less
For the GX-䡺8 Standard sensing object
60%
Maximum operation distance: 2.5 mm 0.098 in ± 8 % (2.3 to 2.7 mm 0.091 to 0.106 in)

Standard sensing object
Maximum operation distance: 2.5 mm 0.098 in ± 20 % (2.0 to 3.0 mm 0.079 to 0.118 in)
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-䡺12 has a variation of 0.64 mm 0.025 in or less for a maximum operation distance of 4 mm 0.157 in
Answer of GX-F/H series
The longest stable sensing range in the industry gives you much greater flexibility.

We want sensors that are good at withstanding vibration and shocks!
Answer of GX-F/H series
Industry No.1
10 times the durability! (Compared to previous models) Sensing the presence of metallic objects on a part feeder
Checking up / down operations of compact molding equipment
Shock resistance: 1,000 G
Vibration resistance: 500 Hz
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.

We’d really like to have sensors that let you see the operating status at a glance. Answer of GX-F/H series
Indicators are easy to see over a wide field of view
GX-H䡺
GX-F䡺
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. * For details, refer to the “SPECIFICATIONS” (p.8~)

If you tighten the screws too tightly, it will damage the sensors. Answer of GX-F/H series
Customer requirements
There are too many thin wires which are very difficult to work with! Answer of GX-F/H series
Tightening strength increased with no damage! Tightening torque: 0.7 N·m
Conductor thickness doubled to make wiring much easier! (GX-䡺8 only) 0.08 mm2 Previous model
0.15 mm2 GX-䡺8
Metal sleeve
Conductor thickness approx. 2 times greater
Approx. 1.4 times greater than before A metal sleeve has been inserted! It is possible to tighten up to 0.7 N·m *.
* Maximum tightening torque for M3 screw.
The conductor’s thickness was doubled for the GX-䡺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.
Applications

Sensing range • The sensing range is specified for the standard sensing object. With a non-ferrous metal, the sensing range is obtained by multiplying with the correction coefficient specified below. Further, the sensing range also changes if the sensing object is smaller than the standard sensing object or if the sensing object is plated. Correction coefficient Model No. GX-8 type Metal 1

RECTANGULAR INDUCTIVE PROXIMITY SENSOR GX-F6/H6 SERIES Ro Conforming to EMC Directive
RoHS compatible
Rectangular inductive proximity sensors come in even smaller bodies!
Introducing the even smaller □6 mm □0.236in type following □8 mm □0.315 in and □12 mm □0.472 in types □6 mm □0.236 in super compact type is added to the high-precision inductive proximity sensor GX-F/H series.
Easy sensor installation The new type of mounting bracket [MS-GX6-1 (optional)] makes mounting of the sensor easy with just one M3 screw. Also, close mounting is possible which contributes to space-saving.

MS-GX6-1
Space-saving!
Stable detection by superior basic performance! Variation at the max. operation distance is within ±8 %
Temperature characteristics vary within ±8 %
Having little individual variability in the sensors along with excellent temperature characteristics, stable detection can be obtained.
Highly resistant to water and oil! IP68g protection structure The new integrated construction method used improves environmental resistance performance. Sensors can be used even in places where water or oil presents.

Wide stable sensing range gives you a much greater fl exibility.
Previous model
Strong against vibration or shock!
Operation indicator of high visibility
With the new integrated construction method, the sensors was able to clear endurance tests of shock resistance of 10,000 m/s2 acceleration (1,000 G approx. in X, Y and Z directions for three times each), and vibration resistance of 10 to 500 Hz frequency [3 mm 0.118 in (20 G max.) amplitude in X, Y and Z directions for two hours each].
An easy-to-see operation indicator (orange) that has a prism with a wide field of view is incorporated.

Notes: 1) W here measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 °C +73.4 °F. 2) “I” in the model No. indicates a different frequency type. 3) The maximum operation distance stands for the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object. T there is an ambient temperature drift and/or supply voltage fluctuation. 4) SUNX’s IP68 test method 1Immerse at 0 m below 0 °C +32 °F water surface and leave for 30 min. Then, immerse at 0 m below +70 °C +158 °F water surface and leave for 30 min. 2Regard the heat shock test in 1 as one cycle and perform 20 cycles. 3Leave in water at a depth of 1 m 3.281 ft in water for 500 hours. 4After tests 1 to 3, insulation resistance, voltage withstandability, current consumption, and sensing range must meet the standard values. 5) If using the sensor in an environment where cutting oil droplets splatter, the sensor may be deteriorated due to added substances in the oil.
