PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ALLEN BRADLEY 872C-K4C12-R3 - Inductive Proximity Sensor
This device is an ALLEN BRADLEY 872C series cylindrical inductive proximity sensor, engineered for non-contact metallic object detection in industrial automation environments. It provides a digital output signal based on the presence of ferrous and non-ferrous metals within its sensing field. The sensor integrates NPN switching technology with a Normally Open (NO) output, suitable for direct input to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and control systems requiring precise position sensing.
