Azbil FL7M-7J6HD DC 2-Wire Cylindrical Proximity Switch | M18 | NO | 7mm Sensing | IP67

The FL7M-7J6HD is an industrial DC 2-wire cylindrical proximity sensor manufactured by Azbil (formerly Yamatake). It is primarily designed to reliably detect metal objects without physical contact in automated manufacturing and metal-processing environments.

Sensing Distance: 7 mm (shielded).

• Outside Diameter / Size: M18 threaded cylindrical housing.

• Operation Mode: Normally Open (N.O.).

• Operating Voltage: 12/24 Vdc (allowable range: 10 to 30 Vdc).

• Output Type: DC 2-wire polarity type.

• Response Frequency: High speed at 2 kHz.

• Standard Cable: Pre-leaded 2-meter oil-resistant cable (though specific suffixes like -L3, -L5, or -L10 denote longer custom cable lengths).

Core Features & Design Benefits

• Low Current Consumption: Operates with an industry-low current draw of just 0.55 mA max, which reduces overall system energy use.

• Firefly Glow Indicator: Features an integrated indicator lamp highly visible from any angle to easily confirm switching status.

• Harsh Environment Durability: Sealed to an IP67G rating, making it highly resistant to water, dust, and standard industrial oil/coolant splashes.

• Rigid Housing: Built from nickel-plated brass to handle higher mounting torque during installation without damaging the sensor body.
  

The Azbil FL7M-7J6HD is a rigid, highly waterproof DC 2-wire M18 cylindrical proximity switch with a 7 mm sensing distance and NO operation, rated to IP67. Features an improved rear-visible indicator lamp and no-polarity connection to reduce wiring costs. Setting indicator aids precise installation. Cross-compatible with the broad FL7M family.

Suited for detecting larger metallic targets on press machines, transfer lines, AGVs (automated guided vehicles), and heavy industrial automation systems. Available with prewired cable or M12 connector variants.
