Allen Bradley Inductive Barrel-Style Proximity Sensor, M5 x 0.5, 0.8 mm Detection, PNP Output, 10 → 30 V dc, IP67

Allen Bradley 871C series miniature inductive proximity sensors are self-contained, solid-state devices designed to sense the presence of ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects without touching them. These small-barrel sensors are designed for space-critical applications where standard-size sensors simply will not fit. IO-Link enabled sensors offer advanced features and diagnostics including Automatic Device Configuration, multiple profiles, trending, descriptive tags, and device-specific parameters

IO-Link communication

Looking for a reliable sensing solution to use with industrial automation and process operations? This miniature inductive proximity sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range can accurately detect the presence of objects within 0.8mm. The small barrel means it fits easily into confined spaces, while an IP67 (ingress protection) rating assures you the internal components are completely shielded from dust and water entry, so it's suitable for use in harsh environments. Use a sensor like this one for the positioning of flexors or chain guides on conveyor systems.

• IO-Link provides real-time diagnostics on sensor health for the rapid correction of problems and prevention of downtime
• Reverse polarity and short-circuit overload protection for better safety and the prevention of workplace fires
• Wide operating temperature range between -25°C and +70°C for use in demanding industrial settings

• RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
• CE (Conformitè Europëenne)
• cULus (Underwriters' Laboratories in Canada and the US)

No. This inductive proximity sensor works with an oscillating electromagnetic field that detects ferrous metals like iron and non-ferrous metals such as aluminium.
