MFxM Magnetic Proximity Sensors

The MFxM magnetic proximity switches from Baumer detect magnetic fields over large distances up to 60 mm.

• Target can be located behind a wall of non-ferromagnetic metal such as stainless steel or aluminum, allowing sensor and magnetic target to be placed in protected locations
• Features two housing options: extremely compact rectangular housings measuring 8 x 8 mm, or standard M8 housings
• Can easily replace inductive sensors in applications with long sensing distances, or where metal parts influence inductive sensor’s ability to detect magnetic fields
• Large sensing range provides increased tolerances, which allow sensor to compensate for objects subject to rocking motion
