EGE Elektronik Air Flow Sensor Productseries LC 518

Description

The EGE Elektronik LDN 510 GA is the authoritative solution for automation environments where NPN logic is the standard. While many sensors default to PNP, the LDN 510 GA provides a reliable NPN switching signal, making it the perfect choice for specific Japanese and Asian machine tool standards, as well as high-speed digital counter inputs. The sensor utilizes a visible Class 2 red laser beam to measure the distance to a target surface. Because it uses triangulation technology, the LDN 510 GA maintains its accuracy regardless of the target’s color—detecting jet-black rubber or polished metal with equal precision. This non-contact method ensures that delicate or high-temperature objects can be monitored without the risk of damage or mechanical wear.
