Magnetic proximity sensors MQ

Category Tag
  • Short-circuit protection (pulsed)
  • Large sensing ranges ensure reliable switching, even with target position tolerances
  • Low-cost sensor solution saves installation time and costs
  • Compact plastic housing makes machine integration easy

Overview

The MQ magnetic proximity sensors reliably detect permanent magnets through non-magnetic materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, plastic or wood. The MQ sensors feature a square, compact plastic housing that makes them easy to install. These sensors are resistant to dust, heat and vibration, making them ideal for use in harsh environments.
