Allen Bradley Inductive Proximity Sensor, Barrel Body Style, PNP Output - 872C-N6NP8-D4

Detect the presence of objects within the vicinity of your machine using this inductive proximity sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range. It's designed with a 4-pin micro QD (quick disconnect) function to make replacing or moving the sensor easy and safe. The unit is housed in chrome-plated brass material, which ensures it's corrosion-resistant and suitable for use under harsh conditions. A non-flush mounting system makes it more sensitive to objects within its 6mm detection range. You'll find sensors like this one commonly used in manufacturing applications because of its ability to detect ferrous metals like iron, copper and aluminium.
