90-Degree Plastic Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors Selection Guide: Technical Criteria & Application Standards
90-Degree Plastic Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors selection guide: technical parameters, mounting and compliance standards, and Lanbao comparison.
90-degree plastic cylindrical photoelectric sensors are photoelectric sensors with an M18 threaded plastic housing that emit their light from the side at a 90-degree angle to the housing axis instead of forward from the end of the housing. Thanks to their lightweight housing, they are preferred in packaging, labeling and small conveyor applications where there is not as much clearance as the length of an M18 sensor with straight optics. The category has three types of the Lanbao PR18TGS series with 10-30 V DC supply: diffuse-reflective models with a 40 cm distance, retroreflective models with a 3 m distance and through-beam models with a 20 m distance. Compare the sensing type, the required distance, the NPN NO+NC or PNP NO+NC output and the connection with a 2 m cable or an M12 connector, and make sure the face from which the light exits will face the object when mounted. For points exposed to shock, the metal-body series with the same optical layout is in a separate category. The 20-250 V AC two-wire version of the same PR18TGS housing is also listed separately; the 10-30 V DC models are not a substitute for the version that operates on mains voltage. The 90-Degree Plastic Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors category on Welibaba includes 13 active models from leading manufacturers such as Lanbao.
Key Technical Parameters for Selecting 90-Degree Plastic Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors
To specify the right 90-Degree Plastic Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors model for your panel or installation, verify the following parameters against your engineering schedule:
| Parameter | Typical Catalog Values | Verification Note |
|---|---|---|
| Sensing Distance | 20mt, 3 mt, 40 cm | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
| Connection Type | 2m Kablo, M12 Konnektör | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
| Housing Code | PR18TGS | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
| Model Type | Cisimden Yansımalı, Karşılıklı, Reflektörlü | Verify against project schedule and load calculation |
Installation, Compatibility, and Commissioning Checklist
- Electrical & Mechanical Matching: Confirm that rated voltage, current capacity, and mounting dimensions align with the upstream and downstream components in Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors.
- Environmental & Enclosure Rating: Check IP protection class, housing material, and terminal capacity for dusty, humid, or high-vibration industrial environments.
- Related Product Groups: If your application calls for a different form factor or rating, compare sibling categories such as AC Two-Wire 90-Degree Plastic Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors, AC Two-Wire Metal Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors, AC Two-Wire Plastic-Body Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors.
