Telemecanique Sensors Inductive Barrel Proximity Sensor, M18, 16 mm Detection, NPN NO, 12 → 24 V dc

Introducing Telemecaniques XS218B range of M18 inductive proximity sensors which have been created and designed for use within applications within mobile equipment and light hoisting applications where metal detection is required. This range of proximity sensors features 1 threaded cylindrical metal bodies, they're unable to be flush-mounted and have been created and designed for direct current circuit applications.

Inductive proximity sensors contain a coil and an oscillator, these create an electromagnetic field close to the sensing surface. When metal enters this field, a change occurs in the oscillating amplitude. This, in turn, changes the sensor output, showing the user and/or corresponding equipment that metal has been sensed. Inductive proximity sensors are suitable for use in virtually any industry. Common applications include the food and beverage industry, robotics, machine tools, packaging and materials handling and so much more. Inductive sensors are unaffected by oil, dirt or surface finish and can be used in high vibration and high shock areas.
