Overview
The Teknic EGL12B04AP024-5000LK is an M12 threaded inductive proximity sensor designed for high-reliability metal detection in industrial automation and motion control systems. This compact 12mm sensor operates on 10–30VDC power (24V typical) and uses non-contact inductive sensing to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metallic targets without physical wear. Ideal for machinery positioning, part detection, and control signal generation.
Key Features
- Non-contact inductive sensing — detects metal targets without wear or contact
- M12 threaded housing — standard industrial form factor for fast mounting and replacement
- IP67-rated enclosure — dust-tight and waterproof for harsh plant floors
- 10–30VDC compatible — wide input voltage range for flexible system integration
- Solid-state switching output — PNP transistor logic for direct controller interface
- Long service life — inductive design eliminates mechanical contacts and friction
