## **SHORT TUBULAR SENSORS**

## Above all others
- _**[Small housing of only 40 mm]**_
- _**[Cable output ]**_
- _**[No sensitivity adjustment trimmer ]**_
- _**[IP69K mechanical protection]**_
## **S15 SERIES**
The main characteristic of the new M18 tubular **S15** sensors is the housing length of only 40 mm, especially suitable for applications with reduced space. The new **S15** series is available with cable output, in order to maximise the concept of ‘reduced dimensions’ as well as to offer contemporaneously the best installation flexibility. The **S15** series is supplied without the sensitivity adjustment trimmer to ease and speedup installation. This feature drastically reduces the possibility of allowing the operator to modify the sensor’s performances and so guaranteeing major reliability and productivity. The main optic functions used in the industrial market are available, polarised retroreflex, non-polarised retroreflex, diffuse proximity and through beam. These sensors are ideal for the most critical applications with harsh environmental conditions thanks to the IP69K mechanical protection.
## **S15 SERIES**
## **INSTALLATION**
The sensor can be fixed by means of the M18x1 threaded body using CH.24 nuts (1.5 Nm maximum tightening torque) or low-profile flared nut provided specifically supplied for . Various orientable fixing brackets are available to ease sensor positioning (please refer to the accessories listed in the general catalogue).

## **DIMENSIONS**
The operating distance is measured from the front surface of the sensor lens.
C models: the object has to be moved closer or further away from the front surface of the sensor lens to improve detection.
In case of lateral translation, the object must move as indicated in the figure.

About Novapart
Novapart is a B2B electronic component broker specialising in stock shortages and cost reduction. We source hard-to-find parts and identify compliant alternatives across a catalogue of 410,000+ components from 500+ manufacturers.
Learn more →Stock Shortage Specialist
When a component is unavailable, discontinued or has an unacceptable lead time, we tap into our network of vetted European and Asian distributors to source what you need — without compromising on quality or traceability.
Request a quote →Compliant Alternatives
We identify pin-to-pin, electrically equivalent substitutes that meet the same certifications (RoHS, AEC-Q100, REACH) as your original specification — validated against datasheets, not just part numbers. Often at a lower cost.
