Allen Bradley 871TM series tubular stainless steel inductive sensors are ideal for harsh or extremely demanding environments. These sensors resist impact, abrasion and corrosion, to keep things moving where ordinary sensors grind to a halt. The 871TM series features full mechanical seals at all barrel openings and full epoxy encapsulation for optimal performance in the toughest environments. IO-Link enabled sensors offer advanced features and diagnostics including Automatic Device Configuration, multiple profiles, trending, descriptive tags, and device-specific parameters

IO-Link communication

This inductive proximity sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range detects the presence of a ferrous metal object without making physical contact with it. Its non-contact operation increases the longevity of the sensor and minimises the risk of damage to the components it's detecting. An IO-link interface lets you conveniently send data to your control centre via your Ethernet, which helps to reduce inventory and improve productivity. With a robust stainless steel body, you can rely on this sensor to resist corrosion and withstand the demands of harsh industrial operating environments.
