RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor, M8 x 1 PNP 3V 4 mm 30 V dc 150mA

RS PRO Inductive Proximity Sensor, Barrel, PNP Output, 4 mm Detection, M8 x 1, IP68, M12 4 Pin Terminal

This inductive proximity sensor from RS PRO detects the presence of metal objects without any physical contact. It's useful when working with delicate or unstable objects which could be damaged if touched. You'll find a sensor like this in any environment where an object needs to be detected within a defined range, such as process control and agricultural applications.
The sensor is able to detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, which improves its versatility in use. A stainless steel body gives the unit excellent resistance to wear and tear and also stops it from rusting. High thermal resistance makes the component suitable for use in hot operating conditions. A sensor like this is a good choice for food processing applications. Its IP68 (Ingress Protection) rating makes it completely dust-tight and water-resistant.
