Photoelectric Through-Beam Sensor GSE10-N1222 SICK with 2 Brackets
Overview:
The GSE10-N1222 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor from SICK’s G10 series, offering a sensing distance of up to 40 m and NPN output. The sensor is supplied with 2x BEF-G10DC01 mounting brackets, enabling fast installation on conveyor systems, logistics automation, and production lines.
With IP67 protection, 850 nm infrared LED, and 1,000 Hz switching frequency, it ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Product Overview of the GSE10-N1222
The GSE10-N1222 belongs to SICK’s G10 series of through-beam photoelectric sensors. It operates by using a separate sender and receiver positioned opposite each other. When an object interrupts the 850 nm infrared light beam, the sensor changes its output state. This through-beam principle provides excellent long-range detection (up to 40 m) and superior immunity to ambient light, dust, and moisture compared to retro-reflective or diffuse sensors.
A key advantage of the GSE10-N1222 over the GSE10-N1221 is that it comes complete with two BEF-G10DC01 mounting brackets, saving customers time and cost during installation. The sensor features a 270° potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment, a 1,000 Hz switching frequency, and a fast response time of ≤ 500 µs, making it highly suitable for high-speed automation applications.
