Photoelectric Sensor Datalogic S50-MA-5-C21-PP

The Datalogic S50-MA-5-C21-PP is a photoelectric sensor in an M18 tubular housing designed for standardized installation and wiring across optical sensor variants. Made with a brass and metal body, it provides an IP67 protection rating against dust and water and operates at a switching frequency of 1 kHz. Weighing approximately 60 g, this sensor suits industrial environments that require durable and compact detection components.

Advantages

The S50 series offers a unified form factor and fixing-hole pattern that simplifies replacement and mounting. Its metal/brass case increases mechanical robustness, while the IP67 rating ensures protection in wet or dusty conditions. The 1 kHz frequency supports reliable detection in many machine automation tasks, and the M18 tubular design is compatible with common industrial fittings and accessories.

Suitable for

• Object detection on conveyor lines
• Presence/absence sensing in assembly stations
• Industrial machine automation requiring compact M18 sensors
• Harsh or washdown environments where IP67 protection is needed
