Turck Inductive Block-Style Proximity Sensor, M12 x 1, 50 mm Detection, PNP Output, 10 → 65 V dc, IP68

Pick up on the presence of metal objects using this inductive proximity sensor from Turck. It detects steel, stainless steel, aluminium and copper with spot-on precision, making it ideal for precisely positioning many metal components. As the unit makes no contact with the objects it senses, there's minimal chance of wear and tear. It lacks a ferrite core, so it's immune to magnetic interference from AC and DC electrical fields for improved performance. You can put this sensor to work in hazardous areas, as it's suitable for use in locations with explosive atmospheres.

• Wear-resistant PBT housing for longevity in harsh settings
• Five variable face directions for flexibility in your setup
• IP68 rating means it's dust-tight and protected against submersion in up to 1.5m of water for half an hour
• Green and yellow LEDs make it a cinch to check its status

• Robotics
• Agricultural machinery
• Dairies
• Breweries

It has a detection range of 50mm, so it's just the thing for short-distance sensing applications.

Turck Banner Inductive Proximity Sensors

Inductive sensors are designed for contact-less and wear-free detection. They are the perfect solution for breweries, frozen food, dairies and packaging applications. Resistant to cleaning agents and disinfectants and exceed the protection classes IP68 & IP69K. These sensors are available as standard versions in chrome plated brass blocks or stainless steel housing with LCP front cap and double lip seal for heavy use or sudden changes in temperature. All inductive sensors of the new uprox+ generation operate with highest switching distances, feature an extended temperature range and are easily mounted.
