Overview

M12 inductive proximity sensor manufacturer direct sale. Shielded/unshielded type installation, 2mm/4mm detection distance, DC type (PNP/PNP) or AC type 2 wire output methods are available. The 12mm proximity switch with a nickel-plated brass shell, ABS detection surface and IP67 protection level, suitable for metal detection.

Feature

SUCH inductive proximity sensor uses an intelligent sensing chip with fast response and strong anti-interference capability to accurately detect nearby metal objects. With high repeat positioning accuracy, high switching frequency, and selectable NPN/PNP (NO/NC) output modes, it ensures stable and reliable operation in various applications.
It is equipped with a red LED indicator that clearly shows the operating state. When a metal target is detected, the indicator turns on or off according to the NO/NC mode, making on-site debugging and monitoring easier.
M12 inductive proximity switch offers vibration, dust, water, and oil resistance, supports a wide voltage range, and includes reverse polarity and short-circuit protection for direct PLC connection. Its robust construction allows it to replace small mechanical switches and limit switches while maintaining stable performance in harsh environments.

FAQ

Q1: What does “shielded” mean for an inductive proximity sensor? ❯

The shielded inductive proximity sensor has a built-in metal shielding structure around the sensing coil. This allows the sensor to be flush-mounted in metal surfaces without causing false triggers and provides a more focused sensing field.

Q2: Is a 2-wire NPN NO inductive sensor compatible with standard PLC inputs? ❯

Yes, most PLC digital inputs can accept a 2-wire NPN NO sensor, as long as the input supports sinking (NPN) signals and the operating voltage matches the PLC’s input specification. Always check the PLC manual before wiring.

Q3: What is the typical sensing range of an M12 shielded inductive proximity sensor? ❯

For an M12 shielded inductive sensor, the typical sensing distance is around 2 to 4 mm, depending on the specific model and target material (usually calibrated using a standard 1×1 cm iron target).
