Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MQ2000 is a magnetic sensor developed for reliable detection of ferromagnetic objects in industrial automation. Its robust metal active face provides resistance against mechanical impact and demanding operating conditions. The sensor is designed to provide dependable switching even when the sensing area becomes heavily soiled. Its compact construction makes it suitable for machine installations with limited space. The sensor is intended for reliable repeated industrial detection.
The MQ2000 uses a magnetically biased sensing principle and provides a 5 mm flush sensing range. Its full-metal housing improves mechanical robustness and provides a durable sensing face. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 V DC and provides PNP normally open switching. It supports up to 400 Hz switching frequency and has IP65/IP67 protection. A yellow switching-status LED and green operating-status LED provide visual indication.
The sensor is particularly useful where contamination, impact and limited mounting space are concerns. It can detect ferromagnetic objects through suitable non-steel covers, supporting protected installation arrangements. Its full-metal construction helps withstand industrial mechanical conditions. The reliable switching behavior supports continuous machine monitoring. The sensor is suitable for automation equipment requiring compact and robust magnetic detection.
