The XS range is an offer of inductive proximity sensors for the detection of metal objects up to 60mm without physical contact. The oscillator produces an alternating electromagnetic field that exits the detection area of the sensor. Any metallic object penetrating this field is then detected. This threaded cylindrical (M8) inductive proximity sensor is designed for harsh environments. It is made of stainless steel 303 and it is non flush mountable. Its nominal sensing distance is 6mm, it supports 1 normally open PNP discrete output and it has a switching frequency of 700Hz. It works in a temperature range of -25C and +70C, it is dustproof, waterproof (IP67), and withstands high pressure and steam cleaning (IP69K). It is made of stainless steel 303. It measures 66mm (length) x 8mm (diameter) and weighs 0.018kg. This inductive proximity sensor is designed to be used in harsh environments. This sensor is certified cULus. The main advantage of the inductive detection offered by the sensors of the XS range is that there is no physical contact with the object to be detected.
