Banner Engineering SM312CVGQD-26912 Mini Beam Sensor

SM312CVGQD-26912 Mini-Beam is Banner Engineering’s convergent, DC voltage sensor in a compact 16 mm (0.63 in) sensing range that uses a visible green 525 nm beam and a 4‑pin M12 integral QD connection. Powered from 10–30 V DC, it provides bipolar outputs (one NPN and one PNP) and supports both dark‑ON and light‑ON operation, making it easy to interface with Banner amplifiers or compatible controllers. The rugged, thermoplastic rectangular housing with an 18 mm barrel diameter is rated IP67 and NEMA 4X for harsh environments, and it tolerates a wide industrial temperature range from −20 to 70 C with a repeatability of 300 µs and a 1 ms response time, plus a 100 ms power‑up delay. The SM312CVGQD‑26912 incorporates a compact, encapsulated design with an indicator LED for quick alignment and a glass‑like acrylic lens, optimized for precise detect/absence sensing in small‑footprint automation lines. This model is part of Banner’s MINI‑BEAM family, compatible with Banner amplifiers and other compatible interfaces, and is well suited for presence or part detection, positioning, and end‑of‑travel tasks on packaging, material handling, and small‑scale manufacturing applications where a convergent 16 mm sensing point is required.
