This M8x1 inductive sensor from Balluff detects the presence of metal targets and provides a PNP normally open switching output, with an operating voltage range of 10-30 VDC and a switching frequency of 750 Hz. Its stainless steel housing and sensing surface, combined with a PTFE coating and an IP67 rating, suit it to flush mounting in environments where contamination or washdown may occur. Connection is made via an M12x1, 3-pin, A-coded male connector, allowing straightforward integration into panels and machine wiring using standard cordsets.
