RS PRO Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor, M30 x 1.5 PNP 30V 38 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK Proximity Sensor, 38mm Maximum Detection, M30x1.5 Thread size - 1113897

This proximity sensor is a shielded inductive device designed to detect plastic targets in industrial control and automation systems. It operates as a non-flush cylindrical switch with a threaded M30 x 1.5 body and is suited to inline mounting in machinery and equipment where compact, cable-connected sensing is required.

Features and Benefits:

• Detects plastic targets with inductive sensing for non-metal objects
  Operation compatible with 30V DC supply for integration into control circuits
  PNP output topology simplifies wiring for sourcing inputs
  200mA switching capacity handles common input load requirements
  100Hz switching frequency supports moderate-speed counting and positioning
  Withstands ambient temperatures from -25°C to 75°C for varied environments

Applications

• Suitable for presence detection of plastic parts on conveyor lines
  Ideal for part-counting and position sensing in assembly machines
  Used with PLC inputs requiring PNP sourcing signals
  Can be used for automated gating and rejection systems handling plastic components

What connection method does it use for installation?

It is supplied with a fixed cable termination for direct wiring into control panels or sensor arrays, eliminating connector-mating requirements.

How is environmental protection handled for washdown or dusty areas?

The device features a sealed enclosure rated to IP67 preventing ingress of dust and temporary immersion, allowing operation in harsh shop-floor conditions.

What mechanical housing material is specified and why is it useful?

The housing uses nickel-plated brass which provides a corrosion-resistant, metallic exterior compatible with industrial mounting and earthing practices.

Is the sensor suitable for shielded mounting arrangements?

The sensor is supplied with shielding, enabling close proximity to metal without unintended activation when mounted in guarded recesses.
