Turck Inductive Barrel-Style Proximity Sensor, M12 x 1, 4 mm Detection, PNP Output, 10 → 30 V dc, IP68

High impact and thermal resistance

Prevent metal objects from throwing your automated systems off track with this proximity sensor from Turck. It uses inductive technology to give you contactless detection at a distance, emitting a high-frequency electromagnetic field through its multi-coil system. When metal enters the unit's 4mm detection range, this disturbs the field and sets off the sensor. A yellow LED indicator shows you the status in a flash. The unit is flush mounted for a stable connection, even throughout industrial vibrations. With its integrated M12-threaded connector, linking it to cables is a breeze.

• Safe to use in humid conditions thanks to corrosion-resistant, chrome-plated brass body
• IP68-rated waterproof design also protects against dust, wire and small tools
• 30V DC maximum voltage makes it compatible with heavy-duty machinery
• Operating temperature range between -30°C and +85°C means it's suited to harsh environments
• Short-circuit, reverse polarity, and overload protection prevent damage to equipment during power surges and fluctuations

• Packaging industry
• Automated assembly lines
• Food and beverage processing

The sensor is just 52mm long, with a compact barrel shape that fits neatly into systems where space is limited.
