Small yet stout, the 3-mm Lone Ranger inductive sensor is a self-contained unit that provides a full 1-mm sensing distance without an external amplifier. The sensor is IP67-rated with smooth-barreled stainless steel housing and PUR cabling. It works in temperatures ranging from -25° to +70°C. It operates on 10-30 Vdc power and has reverse polarity protection with both PNP and NPN outputs available. A status LED confirms output is "on" to speed set-up.
