Ring Inductive Proximity Sensor (8mm Hole Diameter, NPN, IP66)

The Ring Inductive Proximity Sensor features an 8mm circular aperture designed for reliable non-contact detection of passing metallic objects. Operating across a wide 6-36V DC range with an NPN normally-open configuration, it is ideal for makers, educators, and automation hobbyists building part-counting or feed-monitoring systems.

8mm internal sensing hole

The sensor detects metallic items passing directly through its 8mm central aperture. This ring layout is purpose-built for continuous object detection, wire feed monitoring, and counting small metal components.

Sub-millisecond response speed

A fast response time of less than 1ms ensures precise tracking of rapidly moving targets. This high-speed performance prevents missed counts in automated feeding and sorting setups.

Wide voltage input and NPN output

Designed to accept an input voltage between 6V and 36V DC, this sensor integrates smoothly with industrial controllers and development boards. It delivers an NPN normally-open signal upon detection.

Durable IP66 protective enclosure

Built with an IP66-rated housing, the sensor provides reliable protection against dust ingress and water jets. This robust construction ensures dependable operation in challenging workshop or automated environments.
