6180-020 IRS-P Infrared Sensor w/ 8' Cable, 3.55 Plug and Mounting Bracket

Both the IRS-P and IRS-W Infrared Optical Sensors are proven to be reliable high-speed sensors with a range of 1-1,000,000 RPM! With a working range of 12 mm, these sensors are ideal for very high-speed equipment or an application providing contrasting light and dark surfaces.

The IRS Infrared Optical Sensor has an invisible infrared light source that is ideal for working up to 0.5 in. [12.7 mm] from high-speed equipment or other applications providing only contrasting light and dark surfaces or beam interruption by solid objects as small as 0.039 in. [1 mm]. The sensor is housed in a threaded 303 stainless steel tube and supplied with a 90-degree angle aluminum-mounting bracket and two M16 jam nuts. The IRS is supplied with an 8 ft. [2.4 m] cable terminated with a 1/8 in. [3.5 mm] male stereo plug (IRS-P) or 4 tinned wires (IRS-W). An optional 25 ft. [7.6 mm] extension cable EC-25P is available with a female socket for the plug on one end, and a 1/8 in. [3.5 mm] male stereo plug on the other.
