M12 Inductive Proximity Sensor - NPN NO/NC (Flush)

✨Features

✅ Flush (Shielded) Mounting: Designed with a shielded coil that directs the magnetic field forward, allowing the sensor to be mounted flush with the surrounding metal surface without false triggering.
✅ Extended Sensing Options: Offers impressive sensing ranges of 4mm or 8mm in a Flush M12 body, providing superior detection distances usually reserved for larger or non-flush sensors.
✅ High-Current Output: Capable of driving loads up to 200 mA, making it suitable for directly controlling industrial relays, PLC inputs, or signal lamps.
✅ Robust Alloy Housing: Constructed from Nickel-Copper Alloy, offering enhanced durability and corrosion resistance compared to standard brass or plastic housings.

Product Introduction

The M12 Inductive Proximity Sensor (NPN Flush) is a high-performance detection solution engineered for compact machine designs. Its Flush (Shielded) construction allows it to be fully embedded in metal structures, protecting the sensor head from mechanical damage while saving valuable installation space.

This series stands out with its flexible sensing capabilities, offering ranges of 4mm or 8mm with precise repeatability (< 3%). Housed in a rugged Nickel-Copper Alloy body with a PBT face, it is rated IP67 to withstand water, oil, and dust. With a switching frequency of 800 Hz and a high load capacity of 200 mA, it delivers reliable NPN signal switching for automated assembly, CNC machinery, and automotive manufacturing lines.
