Allen Bradley 871C-D1NP4-AP3 Proximity Sensor

Product Details

871C Miniature Inductive Sensors

Allen Bradley 871C series miniature inductive proximity sensors are self-contained, solid-state devices designed to sense the presence of ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects without touching them. These small-barrel sensors are designed for space-critical applications where standard-size sensors simply will not fit. IO-Link enabled sensors offer advanced features and diagnostics including Automatic Device Configuration, multiple profiles, trending, descriptive tags, and device-specific parameters

Allen Bradley Inductive Proximity Sensor, 0.6mm Detection Range, 3-Pin M8 Connector - 871C-D1NP4-AP3

Reliably detect metal objects in harsh environments with this inductive proximity sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range. It senses ferrous and non-ferrous metals, so it works with common materials such as steel and aluminium. An IP67 (ingress protection) rating means it's completely dust-tight and is suitable for temporary immersion in water up to 1m. This prevents particles from damaging components inside the barrel and enables the washing down of sensing areas. The unit's stainless steel housing makes it durable and easy to clean, so it's suitable for use in food and medical industries.
Flush mounting style takes up minimal space in the sensing area and protects the device's face
Reverse polarity, overload and short circuit protection help to prevent electrical damage to the sensor and prolong its working life
Wide operating temperature between -25°C and +70°C for use in harsh conditions
IO-Link communication interface makes it easy to integrate with complex automated systems

Standards and Certifications
