RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M30 x 1.5 PNP 30V DC 200mA 10mm Sensing Range 701-8216

RS PRO 701-8216 Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor is engineered for industrial sensing applications requiring robust and precise detection of metallic objects without physical contact. Featuring a threaded barrel form factor with M30 x 1.5 thread size, this sensor ensures secure mounting on panels or brackets, suitable for diverse control and automation setups.

The sensor housing consists of nickel-plated brass, delivering high resistance against mechanical wear and environmental challenges encountered in manufacturing and process industries. Its shielded sensing coil design reduces external interference, facilitating consistent detection reliability even in electrically noisy environments.

Designed to detect metallic targets within a 10mm sensing range, the sensor employs an inductive sensing principle paired with a PNP output stage that supports current switching up to 200mA, compatible with conventional industrial control system inputs. The device operates on DC supply voltages reaching a maximum of 30V, making it adaptable to various automation voltage standards.

With an ingress protection rating of IP67, it is sealed against dust ingress and capable of withstanding immersion, making it suitable for washdown and dusty environments common in industrial settings. Its temperature tolerance ranges from -25°C to 75°C, ensuring operational stability across fluctuating climate conditions.

This sensor is ideally applied in conveyor position sensing in manufacturing lines, robotic end-of-arm tooling proximity monitoring, limit detection for material handling, and metal part presence detection on assembly machines. Its high switching frequency up to 500Hz accommodates fast counting and timing applications.
