RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M12 x 1 Thread Size PNP 30V DC 200mA 2 mm Detection 701-8225

RS PRO 701-8225 is a threaded barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor designed for precise short-distance object detection in industrial automation. With a 2 mm sensing range and a PNP normally open output, it operates at 30 V DC and supports a switching current of up to 200 mA, perfectly suited for controlling machinery and process automation tasks.

The sensor's M12 x 1 thread size and 44 mm length allow easy flush mounting in metal panels, while the nickel-plated brass body ensures mechanical robustness and resistance to corrosion. An IP67 rated enclosure offers full protection against dust ingress and water washdowns, enabling reliable operation in harsh factory environments.

Operating temperatures from -25°C to 75°C meet the demands of diverse industrial climates. The device's 2 kHz maximum switching frequency enables rapid pulse detection, essential for fast-moving automation applications.

This sensor features shielding to minimize interference and includes overload and reverse polarity protection to enhance wiring safety. It is connected via a pre-wired 3-wire cable terminated with a 2-meter PVC lead for convenient integration.

Common industrial uses include position sensing on pneumatic actuators, end-of-travel detection in assembly machines, presence monitoring in pick-and-place cells, and metal-part detection on conveyor systems. The sensor is compliant with UL, RoHS, EN 60947-5-2, and cULus standards, ensuring quality and safety.
