Overview
The Allen-Bradley 871C-C10S30 is a precision inductive proximity sensor engineered for dependable presence detection in industrial automation and control applications. This self-contained solid-state device detects ferrous and nonferrous metal objects without physical contact, delivering fast, consistent switching for motion control, conveyor systems, machine guarding, and assembly line applications.
Key Features
- 10mm sensing distance for accurate object detection in confined spaces
- Normally Open (NO) output configuration for simple integration
- Operates on 10-30V DC supply voltage with 300mA maximum current rating
- Tubular nickel-plated brass enclosure resists corrosion and mechanical stress
- Fast 1ms response time for high-speed applications
- PVC cable connection for field flexibility
Technical Specifications
The 871C-C10S30 meets CE, CSA, and KC safety certifications. Its compact 30mm barrel diameter fits tight mounting locations while the brass construction provides durability in demanding industrial environments. Sensing technology operates contactless, eliminating wear and extending sensor lifespan.
