Sunx GX-8MB-C5 Inductive Shielded Proximity Sensor

Sunx GX-8MB-C5 Inductive Shielded Proximity Sensor is a cylindrical, M8-threaded sensor from Panasonic SUNX’s GX series designed for non-contact metal detection in automation. It features an 8 mm sensing range, a shielded housing for rugged use in dusty or wet environments, and a 5 m cable length (C5) for flexible wiring. The device is a three-wire DC sensor, enabling straightforward connection to standard control circuits and PLCs. With its compact M8 body and IP67-rated protection, it suits tight installations where reliable metal-target sensing is required, such as end-of-travel sensing on conveyors, metal-part presence detection in assembly lines, and interlock-style sensing for automated tooling. As part of the GX family, the GX-8MB-C5 combines a small footprint with robust sensing performance, making it a common choice for industrial automation tasks that demand durable, shielded inductive detection.
