Panasonic GXL-15FU | Compact Proximity Sensor, 4 mm Range, DC

Panasonic GXL-15FU | Compact Inductive Proximity Sensor (Front Sensing, 4 mm)

Overview

The Panasonic GXL-15FU is a micro-size inductive proximity sensor designed for precise front sensing of metal objects in limited-space environments. With a 4 mm rated sensing distance, rugged build, and IP67 protection, it is ideal for integration into automation equipment, robotics, and small machinery.

This model features a DC 2-wire, normally open output, and comes in a rectangular housing for easy flush mounting where cylindrical sensors may not fit.
