Festo Inductive Proximity Sensor, 1.5mm Detection, M8 Thread - SIEN-M8B-PO-S-L Choose this high-quality proximity sensor from Festo for close-range detection of metal objects in industrial and automated systems. With a detection range of 1.5mm, this component can be used with ferrous or non-ferrous metal actuators for motor and conveyor control. It has a compact length of 45mm and a barrel body shape, so it's ideal for installation in tight spaces. Connect it to your system using the 3-pin standard M8 plug. • Polyamide and stainless steel housing materials for durability and corrosion resistance
• Short circuit overload protection for improved electrical safety
• Simple lock-nut mounting type to eliminate the need for complex tools
• LED (light-emitting diode) indicator to show active status
• IP65 and IP67 (ingress protection) ratings indicate dust and water resistance Applications • Conveyors
• Pharmaceutical production facilities
• Car door detection facilities How does an inductive sensor work? An inductive sensor contains an oscillator circuit that creates a magnetic field. When a metal comes into that field, it causes a disturbance. This sends a signal to trigger the machine's response, depending on the application of the sensor.
