Eaton E51KR32 Retroreflector

Product Description

The EATON E51KR32 is a retroreflector accessory designed for use with photoelectric sensors in industrial and commercial sensing applications. Retroreflectors work by returning light from a sensor emitter back to its receiver, enabling reliable object detection across a defined sensing distance. This component is installed by electricians and automation technicians as part of a complete photoelectric sensing setup, typically on conveyor systems, machine guarding installations, and material handling equipment.

The E51KR32 retroreflector is suited for use in through-beam and retroreflective photoelectric sensing systems where a reliable, fixed reflective target is required. It is commonly installed in light industrial and commercial environments where consistent alignment and durable mounting are priorities. Electricians and controls technicians typically specify this component when commissioning or replacing components in automated sensing systems.

Key Features

• Retroreflective design returns emitted light directly back to the sensor receiver for reliable detection
• Compatible with photoelectric sensor systems requiring a discrete reflective target
• Compact form factor suited for machine-mount and bracket installations
• Durable construction appropriate for light industrial environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or accessory retroreflector for use with compatible EATON photoelectric sensor systems. Verify sensor series compatibility with the EATON E51 product line documentation before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified controls technician. De-energize all associated sensor circuits before mounting or adjusting the retroreflector. Align the reflector face perpendicular to the sensor emitter beam to ensure accurate return signal and reliable detection. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for sensor wiring and enclosure requirements.
