RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M18 PNP 30 V DC 5 mm Detection Range 200mA Output 701-8213

RS PRO model 701-8213 is a threaded barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor designed for precise non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and control systems. The sensor’s M18 threaded brass nickel-plated body offers robust durability and mechanical strength, making it suitable for harsh manufacturing and processing environments.

Operating at a maximum DC voltage of 30 V and withstanding switching currents up to 200 mA, the sensor provides reliable PNP output ideal for direct interfacing with PLC inputs or other control electronics. Its sensing range extends up to 5 mm, allowing for close proximity detection in tight spaces.

Equipped with cable termination, the sensor allows for straightforward wiring without the need for additional connectors. The IP67-rated enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, securing performance in environments exposed to moisture and contaminants.

This sensor is capable of operating in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 75°C, encompassing a broad spectrum of industrial ambient conditions. The 1 kHz switching frequency supports high-speed automation applications, enabling quick and accurate detection of metal objects.

M18 threaded barrel design for flush mounting and compact integration. Brass construction with nickel plating enhances durability and corrosion resistance. Supports a maximum supply voltage of 30 V DC and a switching current of 200 mA.

Cable termination simplifies installation within control cabinets or machinery. IP67 rating ensures protection against harsh environmental factors. Wide operating temperature range of -25°C to 75°C for flexible deployment.

High switching frequency of 1 kHz for responsive detection performance. Compliant with applicable safety and environmental standards including EN 60947-5-2 and RoHS.

This sensor is widely used for position sensing on automated assembly lines, end-of-travel detection on pneumatic actuators, presence monitoring on conveyor systems, and various control cabinet applications where IP-rated, reliable proximity detection is required. Its shielded and flush mount design ensures minimal interference and seamless integration into metal panels.
