What does this sensor detect?

This is an inductive proximity sensor that detects ferrous (iron-containing) metals. It operates without physical contact, making it ideal for harsh environments.

What is the sensing distance?

The typical sensing distance is approximately 1.2mm, making it suitable for applications requiring very close proximity detection.

What are the voltage requirements?

This sensor operates on 10-30VDC, providing flexibility for integration with various industrial control systems and power supplies.

What is the output type?

The sensor provides DC output (typically PNP configuration), compatible with standard industrial control systems and PLCs.

Can it be used in automated machinery?

Yes, the compact form factor and reliable performance make it ideal for automated machinery, conveyor systems, and production line applications.

What is the power consumption?

This sensor consumes 2W of power, making it suitable for systems with limited power budgets.

Is it suitable for harsh industrial environments?

Yes, inductive sensors like this are inherently robust against dust, vibration, and moisture, making them ideal for challenging industrial conditions.
