Keyence PZ-G52CN Photoelectric Sensor
Product Introduction
The Keyence PZ-G52CN is a high-power thrubeam sensor from the PZ-G series. This rectangular model uses dual infrared LEDs to achieve a remarkable 40-meter detection distance. Moreover, its NPN open collector output suits many PLC and control interfaces. A single-turn trimmer handles sensitivity adjustment with a 230° range.
Technical Specifications
The PZ-G52CN runs on 10 to 30 VDC with ripple tolerance of 10% peak-to-peak. Current consumption stays at 25 mA or less for the transmitter and 28 mA or less for the receiver. The control output handles 30 V and 100 mA maximum, with residual voltage capped at 1 V. Additionally, users can switch between LIGHT-ON and DARK-ON modes. Response time reaches 500 µs maximum, which supports fast detection cycles.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
Durability remains a core strength of this PZ-G52CN sensor. Its housing uses glass-fiber reinforced PBT, while the lens cover employs polyarylate. The unit meets IEC IP67, NEMA 4A/6/12, and DIN IP69K standards. Meanwhile, operating temperature spans -20 to +55°C without freezing. Humidity tolerance ranges from 35 to 85% RH with no condensation. The sensor also resists 10 to 55 Hz vibration and 1,000 m/s² shock.
Installation Guide
The PZ-G52CN uses an M8 connector for quick cable replacement. Mounting requires a maximum torque of 0.5 N·m on the mounting hole. Besides, interference suppression supports up to two units through polarization filters or automatic frequency switching. Align the transmitter and receiver carefully across the 40-meter path. Secure both units firmly to prevent misalignment from vibration.
