P5-11 Proximity Sensor

The P5-11 Proximity Sensor is a robust industrial 2-wire probe-style inductive sensor designed for reliable performance. With an impressive speed range of 1-120,000 RPM and a switching frequency of 2000 Hz, this sensor excels in various industrial applications. It operates effectively at a close distance of 0.2 inches [5 mm] from a metallic target, such as a bolt head or shaft locking key with a diameter of 0.5 inches [12 mm]. Operating within a temperature range of -13 °F to 158 °F (-25 °C to 70 °C), the P5-11 is built to withstand challenging environments. It requires a power supply in the range of 5 to 30 V dc and exhibits low absorption current at 8.2 V. In the presence of metal, the sensor draws a minimal current of ≤ 1 mA, while in the absence of metal, it maintains a higher current of ≥ 3 mA. The P5-11 Proximity Sensor is a reliable choice for applications demanding precision and resilience.
