RS PRO Capacitive Barrel-Style Proximity Sensor, M18 x 1, 5 mm Detection, 20 → 250 V ac, IP67

Introducing the range of RS PRO Capacitive Proximity Sensors. These versatile and high-quality sensors are an essential addition to any environment where measurement of attributes like pressure, thickness, etc. are integral to business operations, like manufacturing plants and industrial environments. With the RS PRO seal of approval, you are guaranteed a premium performance product, without the premium product price tag.

A capacitive proximity sensor is a non-contact device that is able to detect the presence or absence of virtually any object regardless of material. The sensors do this by using the electrical property of capacitance and the change of capacitance based on a change in the electrical field around the active face of the sensor.
These sensors are especially useful for level sensing in production or laboratory environments where certain attributes need to be monitored for effective working and for the guarantee of quality, like measuring pressure, flow, thickness, liquid level and so much more.

This RS PRO range of proximity sensors has a variety of connectors suited to your needs:
PVC Cable – 896-7229, 896-7232, 896-7241, 896-7254, 896-7251
M12 connector – 896-7263, 896-7239
