Description

OMRON Inductive Proximity Sensor

TL-Q5MC1-Z

The OMRON TL-Q5MC1-Z is a high-precision, non-contact metal detection sensor (Inductive Proximity Sensor). It is designed to detect metallic objects at close range without physical contact. This makes it ideal for industrial applications, machinery, automation systems, and positioning control devices.

This model features an NPN output (Normally Open) for simplified integration. It operates with a voltage supply range of 10–30V DC and includes an LED indicator (red) for active detection.

Key Features

Detects metallic objects without physical contact.
Maximum sensing distance of 5 mm.
NPN Open Collector (NO) output.
Operational status indicated by an LED.
Water and dust protection conforming to IP67 standards.
Resistant to vibration and shock.
Suitable for position control, part counting, and automatic machine stop applications.
