RS PRO Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensor, M8 x 1 PNP 30V 2 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 32mm Length, M8 x 1 Thread Size - 1113864

This proximity sensor is a compact, stainless-steel, cylindrical inductive switch designed for flush mounting in industrial automation. It detects metallic and plastic targets at close range, operates from a 10V to 30V DC supply and delivers a PNP normally-open output via a 3‑wire cable. Robust sealing and a short-body form factor suit it to harsh environments and confined assemblies.

Features & Benefits

• IP68 and IP69K sealing for washdown and pressurised cleaning
  Operates at temperatures from −40°C to 100°C for hot usage
  2mm sensing range provides precise close-proximity detection
  4kHz switching frequency for fast-response switching requirements
  200mA continuous current supports moderate load switching
  Shielded flush design prevents stray activation in tight installations

**Applications**

• Suitable for coolant-laden machining zones requiring sealed sensors
  Ideal for mobile machinery with Compact mounting constraints
  Used for plastic component detection on automated conveyors
  Can be used for proximity monitoring in high-temperature process lines
  Used with control systems needing fast, repeatable switching signals

What cable and connection format does it use for wiring?

It is supplied with a 2m PUR‑insulated cable wired as a DC three-wire PNP arrangement for direct connection to PLC or control inputs.

How is the device protected against installation wiring errors?

Electrical protection includes reverse-polarity, short‑circuit and power-up Pulse protection to reduce wiring-related failures.

What materials comprise the sensing face and housing?

The housing is stainless steel V2A (AISI 303) while the sensing face is plastic (LCP) to combine mechanical strength with consistent sensing behaviour.

How does the sensor perform under mechanical stress?

It withstands high shock and vibration levels including 100g/11ms pulses and extended vibration endurance up to 1 million cycles.
