Frequently Asked Questions

What is the exact sensing range and tolerance of the GX-108MLKA sensor?

The Panasonic GX-108MLKA has a nominal sensing range of 0 to 4 millimeters for standard steel targets, with a manufacturing tolerance of ±10%. This means the actual effective range for reliable switching is typically between 3.6 mm and 4.4 mm. The sensor is designed for precise short-range detection in compact machinery.

What type of output signal does this proximity sensor provide?

The GX-108MLKA is an inductive proximity sensor that provides a digital switching output. It is commonly available in either a PNP (sourcing) or NPN (sinking) open-collector transistor output configuration. You must verify the specific suffix or datasheet for your unit to confirm the output type, which interfaces directly with PLC digital inputs, relays, or microcontroller circuits with appropriate pull-up/down resistors.

Is this sensor suitable for wet or oily industrial environments?

Yes, the GX-108MLKA features a sealed metal housing designed to be resistant to dust, oil, and moisture ingress. This makes it well-suited for use in challenging industrial settings such as machine tooling, food processing, and automotive assembly lines where coolants, lubricants, or washdowns are present. For specific liquid immersion, consult the IP rating in the official datasheet.

How do I wire and install the GX-108MLKA sensor?

Installation involves mounting the sensor via its threaded barrel and connecting its typically three wires: brown (V+), blue (V- / GND), and black (switched output). Ensure the supply voltage matches the sensor's specification (commonly 10-30V DC). The built-in LED provides immediate feedback: it lights when powered and may change state upon target detection, simplifying alignment and troubleshooting during setup.
