Allen Bradley Inductive Barrel Proximity Sensor, M18 x 1, 8 mm Detection

The Rockwell Automations proximity sensor provides an inductive proximity sensor that are designed to operate by generating an electromagnetic field and detecting the eddy current losses with a barrel body style having an PNP output type with a detection range of 8 mm.

Consists of a coil on a ferrite core
Flat targets are preferable
Sensors can be connected in parallel to energize a load
Can be used in wood industry
