Looking for a component that can detect the presence or absence of objects without contact? This proximity sensor from Rockwell Automation’s Allen Bradley range is designed to do just that. Using inductive sensor technology, this non-contact component is able to detect objects within a 6mm range, preventing damage to the object. Its 60mm compact body is a suitable physical fit for situations where space is tight. It’s designed with a wound iron core to detect ferrous metals including aluminium and copper. For this reason, you’ll find it commonly used in applications on packaging lines to detect objects such as cans.

• Operating temperature range of between -25°C and +70°C for adequate thermal balance under harsh conditions
• Flush mounting style protects the face of the sensor from damage
• Chrome-plated brass material housing provides corrosion resistance and a shiny appealing exterior

• BS EN 61340-5-1:2007 (Electrostatic Control Standards)
• ANSI/ESD S20.20:2014 (Electrostatic Control Standards)
• UL (Underwriters’ Laboratories)
• CE (Conformité Européene)

This component operates at a maximum DC voltage of 30V. It’s advisable to use it safely below the specified maximum voltage to prevent damage.
