RS PRO Inductive Barrel-Style Proximity Sensor, M8 x 1, 4 mm Detection, NPN/PNP Output

RS PRO Miniature Inductive Proximity Sensor

Introducing the range of RS PRO Inductive Proximity Sensors with IO-Link Communication. These versatile and high-quality sensors are an essential addition to any environment where measurement of attributes like pressure, thickness, etc. are integral to business operations, like manufacturing plants and industrial environments. The compact sensor has been designed to fit in areas where space is limited, while offering the same high-performance as a standard sensor. With the RS PRO seal of approval, you are guaranteed a premium performance product, without the premium product price tag.

Features and Benefits:

• This inductive sensor is a high-performance sensor for contactless and wear free detection of metallic objects in industrial automation applications, such as packaging, materials handling and machine tools, but especially designed for areas where space is limited


• The sensor can be operated in IO-Link mode once connected to an IO-Link master or in standard I/O mode and offers a variety of adjustable parameters via the IO-Link interface


• The sensors are completely enclosed in a robust nickel-plated brass housing, which greatly increases shock and vibration resistance and offers precise detection, long-term reliability and high accuracy

Applications:

An inductive proximity sensor is a non-contact device that is able to detect the presence or absence of virtually any object regardless of material. The sensors do this by using a coil and oscillator inside the sensor that creates an electromagnetic field close to the sensing surface and when there is a change occurs in the oscillating amplitude, it is able to pick up these variations.
These sensors are especially useful for production or laboratory environments where certain attributes need to be monitored for effective working and for the guarantee of quality, like measuring pressure, flow, thickness, liquid level and so much more.
