SENSING CHARACTERISTICS (TYPICAL)
GXL-8 type
As the sensing object size
becomes smaller than the
standard size (iron sheet 15 × 15
× t 1 mm 0.591 × 0.591 × t 0.039
in), the sensing range shortens as
shown in the left gures.

•
The tightening torque should be 1 N·m or
less.
•
To mount the sensor with the optional sensor
mounting bracket MS-GXL15, the thru-hole
diameter should be ø3.4 mm ø0.134 in.
•
Screw, nut or washers are not supplied.
Please arrange them separately.
•
To mount the long sensing range type on a
magnetic body, such as iron, the enclosed
aluminum sheet, or any other aluminum
sheet having a minimum size of 30 × 39.5
× t 0.3 mm 1.181 × 1.555 × t 0.012 in
(GXL-15HLU type: 30 × 30 × t 0.3 mm 1.181
× 1.181 × t 0.012 in), should be inserted
between the sensor and the magnetic body.
However, it is not necessary to use the
aluminum sheet when mounting on a non-
magnetic body, such as, aluminum or an
insulator.
•
When mounting the inductive proximity
sensor with the optional sensor mounting
bracket MS-GXL15-2, if the bracket is
mounted close to the sensing part, the
bracket itself gets sensed and the operation
becomes unstable. Make sure to mount such
that the mounting holes of the sensor and
those of the mounting bracket are in one horizontal straight line.

• Never use this product as a sensing device
for personnel protection.
• In case of using sensing devices for
personnel protection, use products which
meet laws and standards, such as OSHA,
ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection
applicable in each region or country.
• The tightening torque should
be 0.5 N·m or less.
•
To mount the sensor with a nut, the
thru-hole diameter should be
ø3.4 mm ø0.134 in. With the
attached mounting screw and nut,
take care that the thickness of the
mounting plate should be 2.3 mm
0.091 in or less.
•
If a screw other than the attached
screw is used, make sure to use a
M3 truss head screw.
Do not use a at head
screw or a pan head screw.
