RS PRO Inductive Proximity Sensor, Barrel, PNP Output, 12 mm Detection, M18 x 1, IP68, Cable Terminal


This RS PRO inductive proximity sensor is ideal for detecting metal objects without using any physical contact. It can detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making it a versatile choice.


This sensor is designed to stand up to demanding environments as it has a tough, corrosion-resistant stainless steel body. Its IP68 (Ingress Protection) rating makes it completely dust-tight and water-resistant. It also offers good thermal resistance for use in hot environments.


This component is often used in agricultural or process control applications. It's a good choice for food processing or other tasks involving delicate objects that could be damaged if touched.
