Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Position Detection: Designed to detect metal objects without physical contact using inductive sensing technology, enabling precise position monitoring in automated systems.
  • Magnetic Sensing: Capable of detecting magnetic fields, making it suitable for applications requiring proximity detection in industrial and mechanical environments.
  • Waterproof Design: Equipped with a sealed metallic body (brass/steel) and protective blue cap, ensuring reliable performance in wet or harsh outdoor conditions.

Key features

  • 1. Corrosion-Resistant Metal Construction

    • With a brass-reinforced metal body and PVC-insulated cable, this sensor withstands harsh industrial environments, outperforming plastic-bodied sensors prone to degradation.

  • 2. Versatile Output Configuration

    • With PNP/NPN switchable outputs, it integrates seamlessly into diverse control systems, eliminating the need for custom wiring compared to single-output sensors.

  • 3. Multi-Voltage Adaptability

    • With 5V-24V voltage compatibility, it operates across industrial and automation setups, unlike single-voltage sensors limited to specific systems.

  • 4. Waterproof Design for Harsh Environments

    • With an IP67-rated waterproof housing, it maintains reliability in wet or dusty conditions, outperforming non-sealed sensors prone to malfunction.

  • 5. Secure Threaded Mounting System

    • With a threaded connection and rubber-sealed cable entry, it ensures stable installation without additional fixings, reducing maintenance compared to non-threaded alternatives.

  • Notes:

    • Selling points are derived from material durability, voltage flexibility, environmental resilience, and ease of installation.
