PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ALLEN BRADLEY 872C-NH4NN8-E2 - Inductive Proximity Sensor
The ALLEN BRADLEY 872C-NH4NN8-E2 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor engineered for reliable, non-contact detection of metallic objects within industrial automation environments. This solid-state device features a 4 mm sensing distance with an NPN normally open output, making it suitable for precise position sensing, presence detection, and counting applications. It is designed for integration into control systems requiring discrete DC inputs for machine automation, material handling, and packaging machinery.
