Sensore fotoelettrico Datalogic BASIC M8 – custodia grigia, ottone, 0,5 kHz, 0,2 A, profondità 40,4 mm

Datalogic BASIC M8 is a photoelectric sensor in a compact M8 form factor with a grey finish and brass housing. It is intended for object detection and simple automation tasks where a small, robust sensor is required. The unit operates at an operating frequency of 0.5 kHz and provides a maximum switching output current of 0.2 A. Its housing depth is 40.4 mm and the sensor weighs approximately 80 g. The brass enclosure offers mechanical durability for industrial sensing applications while the M8 size allows installation in tight spaces.

Advantages

The sensor combines a compact M8 cylindrical design with a brass housing that enhances mechanical strength and resistance to wear. Its moderate operating frequency and clearly defined maximum output current make the device suitable for straightforward detection tasks and integration with common control circuits. The lightweight design facilitates mounting and alignment in confined automated systems.

Suitable for

• Basic object detection on conveyor lines and feed systems
• Position sensing in compact automation assemblies
• Integration into small panel or machine housings where M8 form factor is required
• Applications requiring a durable brass housing in non-corrosive environments

Key specifications

• Sensor type: photoelectric sensor
• Housing material: brass
• Housing color/finish: grey
• Form factor: M8 (cylindrical)
• Operating frequency: 0.5 kHz
• Maximum output current: 0.2 A

How to use

Install the sensor in the intended position using appropriate M8 mounting hardware so that the sensing face has a clear line of sight to the target objects. Connect the sensor to the control system following the manufacturer's wiring scheme and ensure the load connected does not exceed the specified maximum output current of 0.2 A. Adjust alignment and verify switching behavior at the operating frequency of 0.5 kHz under expected process conditions. Verify mechanical fastening of the brass housing to prevent movement during operation.

Recommendations

Use the sensor in environments compatible with brass housings and avoid prolonged exposure to aggressive corrosive chemicals. Ensure that the electrical load and switching frequency remain within the specified limits, and perform routine inspections of mechanical mounting and optical alignment to maintain reliable detection performance.
