Festo SIEN Series Inductive Barrel-Style Proximity Sensor, M8 x 1, 2.5 mm Detection, PNP Output, 10 → 30 V dc,

Benefit from fast motion detection with this inductive proximity sensor from Festo. The high-speed motion sensor uses an electromagnetic field to rapidly detect any ferrous metal object at short range. This helps pneumatic drives achieve faster cycle times. It features an LED (light-emitting diode) switching indicator for easy visual indication of its operating status. A high-grade stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance to moisture and chemicals. This sensor is approved for use in the food and beverage industry.

• Practical for use in areas exposed to high vibration and shock for versatility in application
• Repetition accuracy of 0.12mm for improved precision
• Polarity protected connections to enhance safety when in use
• Wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C, for use in a broad range of environmental conditions

• Chemical industry
• Packaging applications
• Oil rigs and shipping

Proximity sensors typically have a prolonged lifespan as they're designed to detect the absence or presence of an object without the need for physical contact. This non-contact operation also makes them useful for working with delicate or unstable objects that contact could damage.
