    Also known as inductive proximity sensors, these detect metallic objects even if they’re obscured by water, oil, dirt, or a surface finish. Sensing distance is based on the target material. The distance listed is for mild steel. They’re often used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and produce PNP or NPN signal output. To determine the signal output of a sensor you are replacing, use Testers for Proximity and Photoelectric Sensors (not included).
    Also available: If you don’t see the sensor you need, please select 73635K999 and specify manufacturer and manufacturer part number.
    IP67 Enclosure Rating—IP67 and IP68 rated sensors are protected from temporary submersion.
    NEMA 6P Enclosure Rating—NEMA 6P rated sensors are protected from corrosion and washdowns.
    Projecting Mount—Projecting sensors, also known as non-embeddable or unshielded sensors, must be mounted with the area around the sensor face free of metal. They have a longer sensing distance than flush sensors with the same diameter.
    IO-Link Communication Protocol—Sensors with IO-link can be configured remotely when connected to a PLC, a human-machine interface (HMI), or a computer.
    Plug In—Sensors with a plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the sensor.
