Need a reliable proximity sensor for detecting metallic objects? Turn to this inductive proximity sensor from Schmersal. Its housing is made of nickel-plated brass for durability and resistance to corrosion in harsh environments. The cable has an ample length of 2m for a flexible connection, and the PVC sheath offers resistance to wear and impact. For added electrical safety, the sensor features built-in protection against short circuits, overloads and polarity reversal.

• Broad operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C for use in hot and cold environments
• IP67 (ingress protection) rating means it's protected against dust and can withstand submersion in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes
• Light weight of 70g to minimise strain on equipment

• Production lines
• Packaging plants

No, thanks to its low operating current of just 200mA, it's an energy-efficient choice.

The sensor features a yellow LED that makes it easy to see switching conditions at a glance.
