Searching for a reliable way to detect metal objects? Reach for this handy proximity sensor from Turck. It uses inductive sensor technology to generate an electromagnetic field through an oscillating circuit. When any ferrous metal object enters the 5mm detection field, it triggers a change in the oscillation and sets off the sensor. Thanks to its operating voltage range of 10 to 30V DC, it's a sure fit for low-voltage setups. Protections against short circuits, reverse polarity and overload are on hand to keep your systems safe from electrical faults.

• IP67 rating means it's protected from dust and immersion in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes
• Flush mounting means it doesn't protrude, reducing the risk of accidental activation
• LED indicators for ease of status monitoring
• Performs reliably in harsh conditions, thanks to its broad operating temperature range between -25°C and +85°C

• Automotive manufacturing
• Automated assembly lines
• Packaging industry

The unit's compact dimensions of 32 (L) x 20 (W) x 8mm (H) mean it fits neatly into systems with little space to spare.
