Inductive Proximity Sensor Switch PNP - NO 10-30V DC (M18-8mm)

The Inductive Proximity Sensor Switch PNP - NO is a high-performance, contactless sensor designed to detect the presence of metallic objects in various industrial and automation applications. The sensor operates within a voltage range of 10-30V DC, making it compatible with most industrial control systems. The M18 refers to its cylindrical housing, which has a diameter of 18mm and is commonly used in machinery and equipment for proximity sensing. This sensor specifically features a sensing distance of 8mm, allowing it to detect metal objects within that range without direct contact.

As a PNP (Positive Switching) type sensor, it provides a positive voltage signal when a metallic object is detected, making it suitable for applications that require an open circuit when no object is present (Normally Open - NO). The NO feature means that the sensor will be inactive (no output) until a metal object enters the detection zone. Once detected, the sensor will output a positive voltage signal, making it ideal for use in control systems where such a signal is required to trigger actions like activating motors, alarms, or relays.

This inductive proximity sensor is commonly used in automated systems, conveyor belts, machine safety, position sensing, and object detection, providing reliable and durable performance in environments with moving machinery or automated processes. The sensor is also designed to be easy to install, and it typically comes with a durable, weather-resistant housing to withstand the demands of industrial environments.

Features:

• Inductive Sensing: Detects metallic objects within a sensing range of 8mm without physical contact.
• PNP Output: Positive switching output provides a voltage signal when a metal object is detected.
• Normally Open (NO): The sensor remains inactive (no output) until a metal object is detected, making it suitable for triggering actions when detection occurs.
• 10-30V DC Voltage Range: Compatible with standard 10-30V DC control systems, providing flexible integration into various applications.
• M18 Size: Compact cylindrical design (18mm in diameter) for easy integration into tight spaces.
• Durable Construction: Built for industrial environments, typically featuring a weather-resistant or sturdy metal housing for long-lasting use.
• Wide Applications: Perfect for machine safety, automated systems, conveyor belts, position sensing, and object detection.

Applications:

• Machine Safety: Commonly used in safety systems to detect the presence or absence of parts, ensuring machinery does not operate unless it is safe.
• Automation Systems: Widely used in industrial automation systems to detect objects, control machine movements, or trigger events in automated processes.
• Conveyor Belt Systems: Essential for conveyor belt control, detecting the position or presence of objects moving along the belt.
• Position Sensing: Used for position sensing to monitor the position of moving parts in industrial machinery.
• Object Detection: Ideal for detecting metallic objects in machines, assembly lines, and robotic applications where precision detection is necessary.
• Control Systems: Can be integrated into control circuits where a PNP signal is needed to trigger actions such as starting motors, activating relays, or engaging switches.
