RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M30 x 1.5 PNP 30 V DC 200mA 10 mm Detection Range 701-8241

RS PRO model 701-8241 is a high-quality threaded barrel inductive proximity sensor designed specifically for demanding industrial automation and control applications. It features a robust nickel plated brass housing with a standard M30 x 1.5 mm threaded mounting to allow flush installation in machinery and production lines.

This sensor detects metallic targets without contact over a precise 10 mm range, making it ideal for accurate position sensing, end-of-travel detection on pneumatic actuators, and presence checks of metal parts within pick-and-place systems. The PNP normally-open output provides a straightforward control signal compatible with PLCs and automation controllers.

Powered by a DC supply voltage of up to 30 V, it supports a maximum switching current of 200 mA and a switching frequency of up to 500 Hz, suitable for high-speed detection scenarios. Its IP67 rating ensures reliable operation in harsh factory environments exposed to dust and moisture.

The sensor offers wide temperature operating tolerance from -25°C to +75°C and is built to withstand mechanical shock up to 30 g and vibration within 10 Hz to 55 Hz at 1 mm amplitude. Protection features such as short-circuit and reverse-polarity safeguard the sensor from common electrical faults, enhancing uptime in industrial use.

Manufactured in Hungary, the 701-8241 model complies with industry safety and quality standards including UL, EN 60947-5-2, cULus listing, and RoHS compliance, further underpinning its reliability and environmental friendliness.

This inductive proximity sensor is well-suited for a wide range of industrial automation tasks such as conveyor speed monitoring, assembly line positioning, and metal detection in manufacturing processes.

Features a M30 x 1.5mm threaded barrel body and nickel plated brass housing. Offers 10 mm maximum detection range with PNP normally-open output type. Operates on 30 V DC supply with a maximum switching current of 200mA. Has an IP67 rating for protection against dust and water ingress.
