FAQs

Inductive Proximity Sensor FAQs

Straight answers to what buyers ask us most about Inductive Proximity Sensors.

An inductive proximity sensor detects metallic objects without contact, which makes it the preferred choice for most presence and position detection tasks in machinery and automation equipment. The sensors on this page come in brass, stainless steel or plastic housings with LED indication and reverse polarity protection, in thread sizes from M3 to M30.

Thread sizes M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M12, M18 and M30 are available. Sensing distance grows with size, for example up to 10 mm for M12, up to 15 mm for M18 and up to 24 mm for M30. Smaller sensors switch faster, at 5 kHz on M4 to M6, while M18 and M30 switch at 500 Hz. All listed versions offer PNP or NPN output and IP67.

Output options include 2, 3 and 4-wire DC and AC versions, Namur, and analog 4-20 mA or 0-10 V DC. Power supply is 10 to 30 V DC or 230 V AC depending on the model, and connection is by cable or connector. Tell RB Automation your controller input type so that the correct PNP or NPN version is supplied.

RB Automation in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, supplies inductive proximity sensors from M3 to M30 to OEMs, panel builders and maintenance teams across India. Call +91 8511104864, WhatsApp +91 9898739737 or email contact@rbautomate.com with the thread size, sensing distance, housing material, output type and quantity you need.

Inductive sensor prices vary with thread size, sensing distance, housing material, output type (PNP, NPN, Namur or analog), connection and order quantity. RB Automation quotes after confirming these details, so you receive a price for the right sensor rather than a generic figure. Submit your requirement through the inquiry form on this page for a quotation.

Yes. RB Automation quotes bulk and repeat orders of inductive proximity sensors for machine builders who use the same sensor across a machine series. Share your part list or describe the application, such as the metal target and the distance at which it must be detected, and the team can suggest a size and output combination.
