GB/T 14048.10-2025 Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear—Part 5-2:Control circuit devices and switching elements—Proximity switches
Basic Information
Scope
This document applies to inductive and capacitive proximity switches that can detect the presence or absence of metallic and/or non-metallic objects; ultrasonic proximity switches that can detect the presence or absence of objects that reflect sound; photoelectric proximity switches that can detect the presence or absence of objects; and non-mechanical magnetic proximity switches that can detect the presence or absence of objects with magnetic fields.
The products covered by this document do not have guaranteed functionality under fault conditions. Requirements for proximity switches with guaranteed functionality are specified in IEC 60947-5-3, and additional requirements must also be met.
The aforementioned proximity switches are independent and equipped with semiconductor switching elements, suitable for connecting circuits with a rated voltage of no more than 250 V AC (50 Hz or 60 Hz) or 300 V DC.
Typical applications of products covered by this document include:
— Factory automation and machinery industries;
— Logistics and packaging industries;
— Conveyor belts and elevators;
— Process industries;
— Power plants.
Special applications (such as corrosive environments) may result in additional requirements.
This document does not apply to proximity switches with analog output.
This document aims to describe the following aspects of proximity switches:
— Definitions;
— Classification;
— Characteristics;
— Product information;
— Conditions for normal use, installation, and transportation;
— Structural and performance requirements;
— Verification tests for rated characteristics.
Products covered by this document are intended to be selected, installed, and maintained only by qualified personnel.
