The DataSensing Basic Inductive Sensor series is a range of standard cylindrical inductive proximity sensors designed for reliable and cost-effective detection of metallic objects in industrial automation environments. These sensors operate using an electromagnetic field to detect metal targets without physical contact, ensuring long service life and minimal mechanical wear.
The Basic series includes multiple standard industrial sizes such as M4, M5, M8, M12, M18, and M30, allowing easy integration into a wide variety of machines and automation equipment. They are available in flush (shielded) and non-flush (unshielded) mounting versions, providing flexible installation depending on sensing distance and mounting requirements. The sensors typically offer PNP or NPN outputs with NO or NC configurations, making them compatible with most PLC and industrial control systems.
Built with nickel-plated brass or stainless-steel housings and IP67 protection, the sensors are suitable for harsh industrial environments including packaging lines, machine tools, material handling systems, and automated assembly equipment. Many models are also certified for use in environments requiring resistance to industrial cleaning chemicals.
