RS PRO Capacitive Barrel Proximity Sensor, M18, 12 mm Detection, IO-Link, 10 → 40 V dc

Introducing the range of RS PRO Capacitive Proximity Sensors with IO-Link Communication. These versatile and high-quality sensors are an essential addition to any environment where measurement of attributes like pressure, thickness, etc. are integral to business operations, like manufacturing plants and industrial environments. The 4th generation of TRIPLESHIELD™ technology provides increased immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially to frequency drives, and improves immunity to humidity and dust. With the RS PRO seal of approval, you are guaranteed a premium performance product, without the premium product price tag.

A capacitive proximity sensor is a non-contact device that is able to detect the presence or absence of virtually any object regardless of material. The sensors do this by using the electrical property of capacitance and the change of capacitance based on a change in the electrical field around the active face of the sensor.
These sensors are especially useful for level sensing in production or laboratory environments where certain attributes need to be monitored for effective working and for the guarantee of quality, like measuring pressure, flow, thickness, liquid level and so much more.

RS PRO is our own brand range and brings you a wide range of high-quality, great value products offering you more choice. Trusted by engineers all over the world, every part of every RS PRO product has been rigorously tested against demanding industry standards
