Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PC50CNT20BM1 Photoelectric Emitter?
The Carlo Gavazzi PC50CNT20BM1 is a compact and reliable through-beam photoelectric emitter designed for long-range object detection in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PC50 photoelectric sensor series, it forms the transmitting side of a separate emitter and receiver sensing system and provides modulated infrared light for dependable detection over long distances.
The PC50CNT20BM1 is designed for a through-beam sensing distance of up to 20 m when paired with a compatible PC50 receiver. Its 950 nm modulated infrared light provides a reliable optical beam between the emitter and receiver, making the PC50 system suitable for applications where accurate detection across larger distances is required.
With a 10–30 V DC supply and an M12 plug connection, the PC50CNT20BM1 is straightforward to integrate into industrial installations. Its compact 17 × 50 × 50 mm reinforced ABS/polycarbonate housing and IP67 protection rating provide durability for demanding production, material handling and machine automation environments.

Reliable Long-Range Detection for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses a separate emitter and receiver installed opposite each other. The PC50CNT20BM1 provides the infrared transmitting beam, while a compatible receiver monitors the beam and detects when an object interrupts the optical path. This sensing principle provides excellent detection reliability and enables significantly longer operating distances than many diffuse or retro-reflective photoelectric systems.
The PC50 series is designed for flexible integration into industrial machinery and automation equipment. With its 20 m sensing distance, modulated infrared transmission, compact housing and M12 connection, the PC50CNT20BM1 provides a practical emitter solution for conveyors, production machinery and material handling installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Long-range object presence detection.
- Automated handling and transfer equipment.
- Manufacturing and assembly machinery.
- Position and product detection on production lines.
