Description

The CLJ-C17-5ANA operates on the inductive sensing principle, generating an electromagnetic field to detect the presence of conductive metals such as steel, aluminum, or copper. When a metal target enters its 5mm sensing zone, it triggers the solid-state NPN output, providing a fast, contactless switching signal ideal for harsh industrial environments.

Engineered for reliability, the sensor incorporates protection against incorrect wiring polarity and output short circuits. Its threaded 17mm diameter housing ensures secure installation in machinery, while its design supports continuous operation in automated production lines, material handling, and robotic systems.

Key Features

  • NPN Normally-Open (NO) transistor output compatible with sinking input modules.
  • Precise 5mm (±10%) sensing range for consistent detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
  • Compact and durable 17x17mm threaded metal housing for industrial durability.
  • Integrated electronic protection against reverse polarity and output short circuits.
  • High switching frequency for fast-moving object detection in automation.
  • LED status indicator for real-time output and power confirmation.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for high-volume industrial applications.
  • Wide operating temperature range suitable for factory floor environments.

Applications

  • Machine tool position sensing and end-of-travel limit detection.
  • Conveyor belt object counting and presence verification in packaging lines.
  • Robotic arm end-effector position feedback and part detection.
  • Automated assembly line part positioning and quality control gates.
  • Metal detection in sorting systems and security equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the CLJ-C17-5ANA sensor?

The sensor typically operates from 6V to 36V DC, making it compatible with standard 12V and 24V industrial control systems. Always ensure the power supply is within this range and properly regulated to ensure stable sensor performance and longevity.

How do I wire the NPN Normally-Open output?

Connect the brown wire to the positive DC supply voltage, the blue wire to the DC common ground, and the black wire as the signal output. The black wire will switch to ground (sink current) when a metal target is detected, connecting it to the input of your PLC or controller.

Can this sensor detect non-ferrous metals like aluminum or copper?

Yes, inductive sensors detect all conductive metals, but the sensing distance may be reduced for non-ferrous metals compared to steel. For the CLJ-C17-5ANA, the 5mm range is specified for standard steel; for aluminum, expect an effective range of approximately 60-70% of the nominal value.

What is the recommended mounting clearance around the sensor?

Maintain a clearance of at least one sensor diameter (17mm) from any surrounding metal objects to prevent false triggering or shielding effects. For flush-mounting in metal, ensure the sensing face is flush with the mounting surface.
