Asahi SunX Co., Ltd. GX-N12ML Inductive Proximity Switch

The SUNX GX-N12ML is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with an integrated amplifier (ML) designed for robust metal detection in automated lines, packaging, and manufacturing environments. Its 50 mm diameter housing contains a DC 3‑wire sensor (Brown = +V, Blue = 0V, Black = output) that runs from 12 to 24 VDC, with a sinking NPN output and a maximum load current of 100 mA, allowing straightforward wiring to common PLC inputs. The GX-N12ML delivers a stable sensing range of 6.4 mm for standard metal targets, while benefiting from a sealed construction with IP67 protection to withstand dust, water, and washdown conditions; many product listings indicate a 2 m cable configuration for flexible installation. The sensor’s simple mounting and built-in electronics simplify retrofits and reduce assembly time on conveyors, robot cells, and machine tools. Typical uses include end-of-travel sensing, presence/absence detection on metal components, and general automation sensing where durable, contactless switching is required, making it a reliable choice for industrial projects requiring metal detection in a compact, rugged form factor.
