WENGLOR I30H008

Wenglor I30H008 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Description

The Wenglor I30H008 is a high-performance inductive sensor with an increased switching distance, designed for reliable object detection in industrial environments. Its M30 threaded metal housing allows for easy and secure mounting. This sensor is ideal for applications in factory automation, packaging, and material handling where long-range detection is critical.

FAQ

Question?

What does “semi-flush” mounting mean for the I30H008 sensor?

Answer:

Semi-flush (or quasi-flush) mounting means the sensor can be partially embedded into a metal surface without significantly affecting its sensing distance. For the I30H008, the datasheet specifies the exact mounting conditions, allowing for a more compact installation than a purely non-flush sensor while offering a better range than a flush-mountable one. Always refer to the manufacturer’s mounting guidelines for optimal performance.

Question?

Is the PNP output of this sensor a Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) type?

Answer:

The Wenglor I30H008 features a PNP Normally Open (NO) switching output. This means the output is switched ON (conducts current) when a metal object is detected within its 22mm sensing range and is OFF when no object is present.

Question?

Can this sensor be used to detect non-ferrous metals like aluminum or brass?

Answer:

Yes, the I30H008 can detect non-ferrous metals, but its switching distance will be reduced. Inductive sensors work best with ferrous metals like steel. For other metals, a correction factor applies. For example, the Wenglor datasheet specifies a correction factor of approximately 0.34 for aluminum, meaning the effective sensing distance for an aluminum target would be around 7.48mm.
