Banner SLM50P6Q Photoelectric Sensor Switch 50 mm Slot PNP IP67

Industrial Slot Sensor for Precision Detection

The Banner SLM50P6Q is a photoelectric slot sensor designed for automated systems that require reliable object detection across a 50 mm gap. Its zinc die-cast housing with nickel plating and IP67 rating suits harsh industrial environments where dust and moisture are present. The unit operates on 10-30 V dc and provides a PNP output signal for direct integration with PLCs and control modules.

Rugged Metal Housing with Quick-Disconnect Mounting

The sensor body uses a fixed-distance slot style with an overall depth of 82 mm and an array length of 60.8 mm. An integral M8 Pico quick-disconnect with three pins allows fast installation and removal without rewiring. Acrylic lens material and a potentiometer adjustment support consistent alignment, while indicator LEDs give immediate visual status feedback during operation.

Fixed 50 mm Slot Width Limits Object Size

The 50 mm slot width and 0.6 mm minimum object detection define the physical constraints for target items passing through the aperture. Response time of 0.5 ms and repeatability of 95 µs suit high-speed counting or edge detection, but the fixed geometry prevents adjustment for larger or irregularly shaped objects. Operating temperature range of -20 to 60 °C and 95 % humidity tolerance cover most indoor factory conditions.
