This is a cylindrical M18 inductive proximity sensor with a brass housing, detecting metallic targets at a sensing distance of 8 mm without physical contact. It operates on 24–240 VAC/DC with a 2-wire output and a 2 metre cable, and is flush mountable for installation where surrounding material would otherwise interfere with sensing. With an IP67 rating and an operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C, it is suited to industrial automation applications such as machine and panel-mounted position or presence detection in demanding environments.
