RS PRO Cylindrical Inductive Proximity Sensor, M12 x 1 PNP 30V 4 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 4mm Maximum Detection, M12x1 Thread Size - 1113885

This proximity sensor detects metallic and plastic targets without contact and is designed for industrial control and automation environments. It operates from a DC supply and provides a PNP switching output via an attached cable, making it suitable for integration into machinery and control panels where reliable non-contact sensing is required.

Features & Benefits

• 4mm sensing range delivers close-proximity detection capability
  10 to 30 V DC supply range permits flexible system integration
  2kHz switching frequency supports high-speed detection tasks
  200mA continuous switching current handles moderate loads
  IP67 enclosure allows use in wet and dust-prone locations
  -25°C to 75°C operating range accommodates varied ambient conditions

**Applications**

• Suitable for presence detection of plastic components on conveyors
  Ideal for end-of-travel sensing in Compact actuators
  Used for part counting in high-speed assembly lines
  Can be used for position feedback in packaging machinery
  Used with PLC inputs where PNP logic is required

What connection format does it use and how long is the cable?

It has an attached 3-core cable with a 2m length and PVC sheath, conductor size 0.25 mm².

How is the sensor protected against wiring faults?

It features short-circuit, reverse-polarity and power-up Pulse protection to reduce damage from common electrical errors.

What materials form the sensing face and housing?

The sensing face is MADE from PA66 plastic while the cylindrical housing is nickel-plated brass.

How repeatable and stable is detection performance?

Reproducibility is less than or equal to 2% with hysteresis between 5% to 15% and temperature drift of ±10% of the nominal sensing range.

Are there mechanical installation aids supplied?

Two nickel-plated brass mounting nuts are provided for flush M12x1 threaded mounting and a maximum tightening torque of less than or equal to 12 N·m is specified.
