Overview MM magnetic proximity sensors provide long sensing ranges that can reliably detect magnetic objects. Magnetic proximity sensors are resistant to dust, heat, vibrations and other harsh environments. The MM magnetic sensors are enclosed in a cylindrical housing and are available in sizes MM08, MM12 and MM18. At a glance Types: M8 to M18
Sensing range: up to 120 mm
Electrical configuration: DC 3-wire
Enclosure rating: IP 67
Temperature range: –25 °C to +75 °C
Nickel-plated brass housing plastic sensing face
Reliable detection of permanent magnets through non-ferromagnetic materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, plastic or wood
Solves high-temperature applications by installing the permanent magnet in the high-temperature area and the sensor behind an insulated area Your Benefit Non-contact operation eliminates interference from dirt, dust and vibrations, increasing sensor life and reducing maintenance costs
Space-saving installation due to small design
Large operating ranges with reliable switching increase throughput
Non-contact, universal detection through several substances, including plastic containers and pipes protective PTFE walls and non-magnetic metal walls Applications Logistics automation
