Overview
AKUSENSE MR-F series ferrous metal detection sensors use magnetic sensing technology to detect iron and other ferromagnetic metals without contact, delivering reliable presence detection for automation and safety applications. Available in a cylindrical M10×22.8mm stainless steel (SUS303) housing (MR-F11 series) and a compact rectangular reinforced PBT housing (MR-F2 series), the series covers normally-open and normally-closed versions with optional red LED indicators. With 5μs ultra-fast response, IP67 enclosure rating, 5~24V DC wide operating voltage and built-in reverse polarity / short-circuit protection, they provide stable, durable and maintenance-free performance in demanding industrial environments.
