Unlike other 18mm sensors, S51 sensors have a flat cylindrical housing that offers numerous mounting choices. The S51 series is well-suited for harsh industrial environments, with a rugged housing and IP67 mechanical protection. All S51 sensors feature a sensitivity adjustment potentiometer that can be easily adjusted for accurate, precise and reliable detection.
