What type of sensor is this?

This is an inductive proximity sensor designed for detecting metallic objects without physical contact. It is commonly used in industrial automation for position detection, presence sensing and machine sequencing.

What is the sensing distance?

The sensor has a nominal sensing distance of 20 mm and a secured sensing distance of 16.2 mm, making it suitable for applications requiring an extended detection range in an M18 sensor format.

What metals can it detect?

It is intended for detecting metal targets. The sensing distance varies by material: steel gives the reference range, while stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass typically reduce the effective sensing distance.

Is it flush or non-flush mountable?

This model is designed for non-flush mounting in metal. Adequate clearance around the sensing face should be allowed to maintain reliable detection performance.

What electrical output does it use?

It uses a PNP transistor output with a normally open output function. The electrical design is DC 3-wire.

What supply voltage is required?

The sensor operates from a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply, with a maximum ripple of 10%.

What connector type does it have?

It is fitted with a 4-pin M12 connector. The wiring arrangement uses pin 1 for L+, pin 3 for M, pin 4 for the normally open signal output, and pin 2 is not connected.

What is the housing size?

The sensor has an M18 x 1 threaded cylindrical housing with an 18 mm diameter. The overall housing length is 69 mm, with a usable thread length of 42 mm.

What environmental protection rating does it have?

The sensor is rated IP67 according to EN 60529, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and temporary immersion under defined conditions.

What is the operating temperature range?

The operating ambient temperature range is -25 °C to +75 °C, which makes it suitable for many industrial environments.

What is the switching frequency?

The switching frequency is 200 Hz, allowing it to respond to repeated metal target detection in many automation and machinery applications.

What materials are used in the sensor body?

The housing is made from nickel-plated brass, while the active sensing face is made from PA 66 plastic.

What accessories are typically used with it?

Typical accessories include M18 mounting brackets, clamp blocks and M12 4-pin sensor cables. Compatible accessories should match the sensor’s M18 threaded body and M12 connection.

What is included with the sensor?

The standard supply contents for 1071277 include two nickel-plated brass fastening nuts, suitable for securing the M18 threaded sensor in position.

What applications is this sensor suited to?

It is suited to metal object detection in automation systems, conveyors, handling equipment, packaging machinery, production lines and general machine position sensing.
