Riko – SC0401

Tubular Inductive Proximity Sensor

Brand : Riko

The Riko SC0401 Series tubular inductive proximity sensors are miniature non‑contact metal detection sensors designed for use in tight industrial spaces. These sensors feature an ultra compact Ø4 mm × 26 mm stainless steel housing with an integrated amplifier, giving them rugged durability and reliable sensing in applications such as conveyor systems, assembly lines, robotic positioning, and precision automation. Their small form factor allows installation where larger proximity sensors may not fit yet still ensures high‑speed and stable detection of nearby metal targets.

Built with IP67 protection and internal short‑circuit and reverse polarity protection, the SC0401 Series delivers dependable performance in harsh industrial environments. Models in this series are typically available with selectable output configurations such as NPN or PNP and in normally open or normally closed versions, allowing flexible integration with a wide range of control systems. The shielded induction design improves noise immunity and helps maintain consistent detection performance under varying operating conditions.
