Long-distance
Separate-amplifier Description
Proximity Sensors Long-detecting distance
A separate amplifier gives the ES Series twice the detecting distance

ES Series
Features
of self-contained proximity sensors.

Detecting distance can be easily adjusted

Detecting distance twice that of conven-
tional sensors
Detecting distance easily adjustable
Wide range of sensor head types available
Built-in alarm output
Detecting Distance
Shielded Up to 8 mm (0.31")
Non-shielded Up to 70 mm (2.76")
The ES Series doesnt need
precise adjustments to sensor
position during setup. You can
adjust the detecting distance using ON
the adjustment trimmer after the
sensor head is installed or during
operation, when necessary. Small difference
Because of its small hysteresis, the
ES Series can detect minute height
differences of continuously moving
objects.
Dust cover (ES-X38)
The ES-X38 is equipped with a
dust cover to protect the amplifier.
The hinged cover remains on the
amplifier when opened or closed.

17 models of sensor heads available

Sensor heads are available in sizes ranging from 2.8 mm to 90.0 mm
0.11" to 3.54" in diameter.
Protected cable (EH-305S/308S/110S)
The sensor cable is encased in a
stainless steel spiral tube to
prevent breakage.

Compact size (EH-402)

The smallest ES Series proximity
sensor, with a sensor head 2.8
mm 0.11" in diameter, offers the
maximum detecting distance of 7
mm 0.28".

Space-saving (EH-614A)
The ES Series thin-type sensor
is only 4.8 mm 0.19" thick,
enabling it to be installed in
areas of limited space.

Resistant to welding spatter (optional)

The Teflon cap protects the
sensor head (EH-308/110/114)
from welding spatters.

Oil-resistant (EH-108)
Precision-machined stainless
steel and a special sealing
mechanism makes the EH-108
Refer to P.551 for a list of products
