Baumer FZAM 18N6460 S14 Photoelectric Sensor

Baumer FZAM 18N6460/S14 is a diffuse-reflective, intensity-difference photoelectric sensor designed for fast, reliable object detection on industrial lines. Housed in a rugged M18 cylinder with a brass body and nickel-plated finish, it operates from a 10–30 V DC supply and drives a 4‑pin NPN output with a maximum load current of 200 mA. The sensing range spans 0–150 mm and the unit carries IP67 protection, making it suitable for dusty or washdown environments. With a sub-1 ms response time and support for both DARK-ON and LIGHT-ON modes, the sensor can be tuned to varying backgrounds and target reflectivity. The device features a 4-pin M12 connection within an M18 housing for straightforward integration into standard industrial sensor networks, and it tolerates temperatures from -25 to 55 °C. As part of Baumer’s FZAM family, this model emphasizes intensity-discrimination in diffuse sensing, providing precise presence detection in automated applications where rapid, unambiguous feedback is required.
