Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
Protective Housing Design
E21286 provides additional mechanical and environmental protection for compatible O5 photoelectric sensors. The housing surrounds the sensor and helps reduce exposure to external industrial hazards. It is particularly useful in applications where welding operations or mechanical contamination may affect sensor performance. The design provides a practical protective layer. This helps support reliable sensor operation.
Welding Protection
The accessory is designed as a welding protection housing for O5 sensors. It helps protect the sensor from environmental conditions associated with welding applications. The housing reduces direct exposure of the sensor to external contaminants and mechanical contact. This makes it suitable for automated manufacturing environments. It can contribute to improved sensor protection and service life.
Durable Construction
The fixing element is manufactured from stainless steel 1.4301 / 304. A PMMA front lens provides the required protective window in front of the sensor. The combination provides a lightweight yet durable protective assembly. The stainless-steel fixing component is suitable for industrial environments. The construction supports stable sensor protection during operation.
O5 Sensor Compatibility
E21286 is intended for O5 sensor types. IFM notes that E21284 should be used for O5Dxxx and O5H7xx variants. This makes correct sensor compatibility important when selecting the protective housing. The accessory is supplied as one complete protective unit. (turn1search25)
