Rugged metal slot sensor 50 mm

The Banner SLM50N6Q is a nickel-plated zinc die-cast slot sensor with a 50 mm slot width and 60.8 mm array length. It operates on 10-30 V dc supply voltage and provides an NPN output through an integral M8 3-pin Pico quick-disconnect. The housing meets IP67 and NEMA 6 ratings for harsh environments.

Replaces sensors lacking rugged housing

Upgrading from plastic-bodied or lower-rated sensors is justified when the application demands IP67 protection, a -20 to 60 °C operating range, and 95 % humidity tolerance at 55 °C. The .5 ms response time and 95 µs repeatability suit high-speed detection of objects as small as .6 mm.

Suits automated lines needing fixed-distance

Ideal for conveyor positioning, part verification, and edge detection where a durable metal housing and remote-teach-free setup are required. Not suited for applications requiring analog output, PNP switching, or a sensing range beyond 50 mm. Buyers needing a different slot depth or connector type should consider other models.

Questions about this item

What clearance is needed for the 50 mm slot width and 60.8 mm slot depth of the SLM50N6Q?

The sensor has a 50 mm slot width and a 60.8 mm slot depth, so the mounting surface must accommodate those dimensions plus the 80 mm or 82 mm overall depth.

How is the M8 3-pin Pico quick-disconnect wired for the 10-30 V dc NPN output?

Connect pin 1 to 10-30 V dc, pin 3 to 0 V, and pin 4 to the NPN load; the 100 ms power-up delay means the output stays off briefly after voltage is applied.

When should the acrylic lens be cleaned and how often is the potentiometer adjustment checked?

Clean the acrylic lens whenever debris blocks the 0.6 mm minimum object detection; verify the potentiometer setting after any vibration shock or temperature cycle beyond -20 °C to 60 °C.
