RS PRO Cylindrical Thread Design Inductive Proximity Sensor, M30 x 1.5 PNP 30V 15 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 15mm Maximum Detection, Stainless Steel Housing - 1113878

This proximity sensor is a threaded cylindrical device designed for reliable non-contact detection in industrial automation environments. Housed in stainless steel, it detects plastic targets and connects via an integral cable, making it suitable for machinery and process installations where ruggedness and continuous operation are required.

Features and Benefits:

• IP68 and IP69K enclosure resists water ingress and high-pressure washdowns
  PNP output enables direct interfacing with common control systems
  Shielded design reduces false triggers from surrounding metalwork
  500Hz switching frequency supports Rapid target interrogation
  200mA switching current handles typical control loads
  Operates between -40°C and 100°C for wide thermal resilience

Applications

• Suitable for conveyor object detection of plastic components
  Ideal for machine tool set-ups requiring flush mounting
  Used with PLC inputs in factory automation lines
  Can be used for end-of-arm sensing in pick-and-place systems
  Suitable for washdown environments in food or pharma plants

What mounting method does it use for panel integration?

It is designed for flush installation with an M30x1.5 threaded body to SIT level with surrounding surfaces.

How is electrical connection implemented for wiring runs?

The sensor terminates in an attached cable for direct wiring to control cabinets or junction boxes.

What supply voltage range should I apply?

The device accepts up to 30V DC as its supply voltage for normal operation.

How close can targets approach before detection occurs?

It reliably senses plastic materials at a maximum distance of 15mm.

Which approvals and standards has it met for industrial deployment?

It carries CE, cULus, EN, ISO, RoHS and UL markings appropriate for many industrial settings.
