Need a contactless way to detect the presence of magnetic objects? This barrel-style proximity sensor from Turck is just the thing. Its detection range of 90mm means it can go the distance in small areas. It's a magnetic inductive sensor, which works by detecting eddy currents. This means it can detect metals even through materials such as plastic, wood and non‐ferrous metals, making it a powerful pick. Installation is a cinch thanks to the 4-pin M12 socket at one end and the M12 thread at the other.

• Operating voltage range between 10 and 65V DC for use in low-power applications
• IP67 rating indicates it's dustproof and can withstand submersion in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes
• Protection against short circuits and reverse polarity to prevent electrical damage

• Transportation
• Quality assurance
• Process control
• Food and beverage manufacturing
• Agricultural equipment

The sensor has a wide operating temperature range between -25°C and +70°C, so it can stand up to use in harsh industrial conditions.
