Model BX5M-MDT is a genuine Autonics photoelectric sensor (BX series, Universal AC/DC Photoelectric Sensors (Wire Terminal Type)).
On a production line a failed photoelectric sensor stops the conveyor or the machine cycle, so maintenance teams keep the exact model in stock; replacing like for like keeps the sensing mode, range and wiring unchanged.

It is the same when using the MS-4 reflector (sold separately). The sensor can detect under 0.1m.

Compatibility and replacement
Order with the full model code BX5M-MDT: in the Autonics code the letters and digits after the series select the size, sensing distance or resolution, the output type and the supply, so a different suffix may not fit your wiring.
Compare the old unit with the technical data above (taken from the official Autonics data sheet); if anything differs, send us a photo and we will check it.
Before you replace it
- Sensing distance
- Reflector or receiver if the system uses one
- Sensing method (through-beam, retro-reflective, diffuse)
