RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M8 x 1, PNP Output 30 V DC 200 mA 1.5 mm Detection 164-6092

RS PRO 164-6092 threaded barrel inductive proximity sensor provides reliable detection of metal objects within 1.5 mm with a rugged nickel plated brass housing. Designed for industrial automation and control systems, it features a flush mounting M8 x 1 threaded barrel body style and a 3-wire cable with PNP normally open output. This sensor operates from a low voltage DC supply of 10 to 30 V and can switch continuous currents up to 200 mA while tolerating transient electrical faults such as short circuits and reverse polarity.

Its IP67 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion, making it suitable for harsh environments. The shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference for stable and accurate sensing. With an operating temperature range from -25°C to 75°C, it meets the demands of typical industrial use cases such as conveyor positioning systems, automated pick-and-place machines, industrial robot feedback, and compact actuator end-of-travel detection.

The sensor supports rapid switching with a frequency of up to 4 kHz, allowing integration into fast process control loops. Including short-circuit, reverse polarity, and power-up pulse protection enhances installation robustness and extends lifetime. Manufactured in Hungary, this sensor complies with CE and cULus standards, assuring quality and safety.

Applications include metal presence sensing on conveyor lines, end-of-travel detection in compact actuators, proximity feedback for automated robots, and flush-mounted control panel monitoring. It comes with a 2-meter PVC-sheathed cable wired for straightforward PNP connection.
