Lanbao LR12XC-Y DC 6/10mm 3-Wire Inductive Sensor

Lanbao LR12XC-Y DC 6/10mm 3-Wire Inductive Sensor

Lanbao LR12XC-Y-DC 3-Wire Series is an extended-distance M12 cylindrical inductive proximity sensor for non-contact metal target detection in industrial automation, machine equipment, conveyor positioning, fixtures, and control systems. It provides 6mm quasi-flush and 10mm non-flush sensing options for applications that need more detection margin than standard M12 inductive sensors.

This listing covers LR12XCF06 and LR12XCN10 DC 3-wire variants with NPN or PNP output and normally-open or normally-closed logic options. Cable-output and E2 M12 connector versions are available, allowing the sensor to match fixed wiring layouts or quick-disconnect maintenance requirements.

Integration Notes & Hardware Guidance

• Output selection: Choose NPN or PNP according to the input type of your PLC, controller, counter, or I/O module.
• Logic selection: Choose normally open or normally closed based on the required signal state when a metal target is detected.
• Sensing-distance selection: Use 6mm quasi-flush variants for tighter mounting conditions, or 10mm non-flush variants when longer detection distance is more important.
• Mounting condition: Nearby metal, target size, and installation clearance can affect the actual switching point, especially for non-flush high-distance variants.
• Connection choice: Select cable versions for fixed wiring or E2 M12 connector versions when quick replacement and standardized industrial connectors are preferred.

FAQ

What does the LR12XC-Y-DC sensor detect?

It detects metal targets using inductive proximity sensing, without physical contact with the target.

What sensing distances are available?

This series includes 6mm quasi-flush variants and 10mm non-flush variants. Select the version that matches your mounting condition and required detection margin.

How do I choose NPN or PNP?

Match the output type to your controller input. Choose NPN or PNP according to the wiring standard used by your PLC, controller, or I/O module.

What is the difference between NO and NC?

NO means the output switches on when a metal target is detected. NC means the output switches off when a metal target is detected.

What is the difference between cable and E2 variants?

Cable variants use a fixed 2m PVC cable, while E2 variants use an M12 connector-style connection for easier replacement and standardized wiring.
