5321692

Overview

The SICK part number 5321692 is a PL40A reflector and optical component designed for use with photoelectric sensors. It functions as a retro-reflective target, providing the necessary surface for sensor beams to bounce back to the receiver unit. This specific accessory is engineered to ensure reliable detection in industrial automation environments where standard retro-reflective sensing principles are applied.

Feature Summary

• Serves as a high-performance retro-reflective target for photoelectric sensors
• Engineered for stable signal reflection in automated detection tasks
• Compatible with specific SICK sensor series requiring dedicated reflectors

Applications

• Retro-reflective object detection in packaging machinery
• Presence monitoring on conveyor belt systems
• Level detection applications requiring precise beam return

Procurement Notes

Verify that the application requires a dedicated reflector rather than a direct-acting or diffuse sensor. Confirm compatibility with the specific SICK sensor model in use, as reflector dimensions and mounting interfaces vary across product families. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed the material limits of the reflector surface.

Selection Notes

Select this component when utilizing SICK retro-reflective sensors that mandate a separate reflector for operation. Consider environmental factors such as dust or moisture that may affect reflectivity. Compare against other reflector types if variable detection ranges or different mounting constraints are present in the system design.

Part Context
