RS PRO Inductive Barrel Proximity Sensor, M8, 40 mm Detection, IO-Link, 10 → 30 V dc

Introducing the range of RS PRO Inductive 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 compact sensor has been designed to fit in areas where space is limited, while offering the same high-performance as a standard sensor. With the RS PRO seal of approval, you are guaranteed a premium performance product, without the premium product price tag.

An inductive 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 a coil and oscillator inside the sensor that creates an electromagnetic field close to the sensing surface and when there is a change occurs in the oscillating amplitude, it is able to pick up these variations.
These sensors are especially useful for 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
