Product Description

RS PRO 701-8231 is an industrial-grade threaded barrel inductive proximity sensor designed for precise short-range detection of metal objects in automation environments. Featuring a robust M12 x 1 nickel-plated brass cylindrical body, this sensor is equipped for flush mounting, guaranteeing nominal sensing performance under harsh conditions.

Operating on a 10 to 30 V DC supply, it includes a 12-Pin M4 terminal type with PNP output configuration that facilitates straightforward wiring and integration with control systems. The sensor provides a detection range of 2 mm and can handle switching currents up to 200 mA along with a high switching frequency of 2 kHz, making it ideal for rapid pulse detection without lag.

This device is engineered to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from minus 25 degrees Celsius to 75 degrees Celsius and withstands mechanical shocks of up to 30 g and vibrations across 10 to 55 Hz at 1 mm amplitude. The IP67 rated housing provides excellent ingress protection against dust and immersion, catering to the demanding needs of manufacturing, processing plants, and packaging machinery.

The M12 threaded barrel design ensures flush mounting suitable for compact sensor installations. The PNP output and three-wire connection support direct interface with PLC inputs and automation control panels. Robust nickel-plated brass housing offers durability and protection against industrial contamination.

Applications include position sensing on conveyors, robotic tooling detection, metal target sensing in stamping presses, and presence monitoring on packaging lines. Complies with international standards such as cULus, EN 60947-5-2, RoHS, and UL certifications.

This sensor is made in Hungary and represents a high-quality solution for electrical automation and control gear sectors. Industrial manufacturers, automation specialists, and control system integrators can rely on this RS PRO proximity sensor for demanding operational performance.
