When metal objects throw a spanner in the works, turn to this proximity sensor from Turck to detect them. It works using inductive technology, emitting a high-frequency electromagnetic field through an RLC circuit and ferrite coil. When metal enters the unit's 1.5mm detection range, it interferes with the field and sets off the sensor. Thanks to an LED indicator, it's a breeze to check the sensor's status. An M8 threaded connector makes it a cinch to connect to standard parts.

• Stainless steel body means it's resistant to corrosion and impact
• Flush mounting means it doesn't protrude, helping to prevent accidental activation
• IP67 rating indicates it's protected against dust and submersion in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes
• Safe for use in harsh environments, thanks to a wide operating temperature range between -25°C and +70°C

• Logistics
• Process controls
• Food and beverage processing

It has a nominal output voltage of 8.2V DC, so it's a safe bet for use in low-power systems.
