The 8mm width Flow Sensor is a compact, non-linear type flow sensor designed specifically for suction lift verification in small workpiece applications. It provides reliable detection of airflow during both suction and release phases, making it ideal for use in automated handling systems where precise confirmation of pickup and drop-off is required.
Constructed from durable industrial materials, the sensor features a robust housing with a standard ø4mm push-in fitting option. The body dimensions are 8.5mm (width) × 24mm (height) × 41mm (length), weighing 10.7g. It is built to withstand typical operational conditions and offers long-term reliability in industrial environments.
The sensor supports multiple connection methods, including options ①to ④ as specified, with additional fitting combinations available for integration into various systems. Available tube sizes include φ6xφ4 (O.D.xI.D.), and metric female thread M5x0.8 is also provided for compatibility with standard industrial fittings.
The sensor operates within a pressure range of -0.09 to 0.2 MPa, with a proof pressure rating of 0.3 MPa. It is suitable for clean air and nitrogen media as defined by JIS B 8392-1, sections 1.1.1 to 1.6.2. Response time is 5ms or less, with a flow rate-specific response of 8ms or less at 10L/min. Current consumption remains at 30mA or less under normal operation.
The sensor is available in multiple configurations including different connection types and fitting options to suit various application needs. Size variants include φ1.8, φ2, φ3, φ4, and φ6, allowing flexibility in integration with existing suction transport systems.
Integration points are supported through standard push-in fittings (ø4mm), metric female thread M5x0.8, and various tube configurations including φ6xφ4. The bidirectional flow measurement capability enables verification of both suction lift and release, making it directly suitable for use in suction transport applications where cycle confirmation is essential.
