RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor, M12 x 1 NPN 30V dc 16 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 16mm Maximum Detection, M12x1 Thread Size - 1050862

This proximity sensor detects nearby metal targets without contact and is intended for industrial automation and electrical control environments. It operates from a low-voltage DC supply and is built for installation where sealed operation and straightforward cabling are required, delivering a non-contact switching output suitable for machine sensing tasks.

Features & Benefits

• NPN output provides simple Interface with control circuits
  10 to 30 V DC operation enables compatibility with common control voltages
  2kHz switching frequency supports fast detection and cycling
  200mA switching current handles moderate load switching
  IP67 protection prevents ingress in wet or dusty locations
  Short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection reduce wiring faults

**Applications**

• Suitable for detecting metal parts on conveyor lines
  Ideal for presence sensing in assembly machinery
  Used for position feedback in pneumatic actuators
  Can be used for panel-mounted object detection in enclosures

What cable termination is provided for electrical connection?

The sensor is supplied with an integral cable outlet for direct wiring to control equipment, utilising a three-wire connection technique.

How does the unit cope with mechanical vibration?

It is rated to withstand shock and vibration levels including 30g shock and 10Hz to 55Hz vibration endurance with 1mm displacement.

What materials are used for the sensor housing?

The housing is formed from nickel-plated brass, offering durability and corrosion resistance in industrial settings.

What mounting style does it require for correct sensing behaviour?

It is designed for flush mounting into an M12x1 threaded receptacle for Compact installation.
