This M12 Extended Range Inductive Sensor is a high-performance solution designed for automation challenges where space is limited but long-distance detection is required. While standard M12 non-flush sensors typically offer only a 4mm range, this advanced model doubles that capability to 8.0mm. This extended range drastically reduces the risk of sensor-to-target collision and allows for installation in more protected, recessed locations within the machine structure.
Electrically, the sensor is built for versatility and resilience. It operates on a wide 10-60 VDC supply voltage, making it highly adaptable to various industrial power environments, including those with unstable voltage supplies. The DC 2-Wire Normally Closed (NC) output configuration simplifies wiring significantly, reducing installation time and cabling costs.
The unit is housed in a rugged Nickel-Copper Alloy shell that offers superior mechanical strength and corrosion resistance compared to standard brass housings. With an IP67 protection rating, it is fully sealed against dust and water, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments ranging from -25°C to +75°C. With a high switching frequency of 1 kHz, this sensor captures fast-moving targets with precision, making it an excellent choice for automotive assembly, material handling, and general factory automation tasks.
