The Allen Bradley 871TM-BH5N18-R3 is an inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable performance in industrial applications. Featuring a compact housing diameter of 18 mm and a short barrel length, this unit is suitable for flush mounting, making it ideal for constrained spaces. Constructed with stainless steel and a metal face, the sensor is built to resist harsh environments.
It utilizes a mini quick-disconnect (QD) connection for easy integration into existing systems. The sensor can handle a maximum load current of 200 mA and has a capacitive load threshold of 1 µF. With an operating voltage range between 10-30V DC, it provides flexibility across various voltage applications. A voltage drop of less than or equal to 1V DC is maintained even at 200 mA output, ensuring efficient operation.
In terms of durability, the 871TM-BH5N18-R3 can withstand shocks of up to 30 g for 11 ms and vibrations at 55 Hz with an amplitude of 1 mm across three planes, ensuring it performs reliably in dynamic settings. For safety, the sensor includes features that guard against false pulses, transient noise, reverse polarity, and short circuits, triggering at 340 mA under overload conditions typical. Additionally, it indicates operational status with a red light signaling when the output is energized and a green light flashing during power or short circuit conditions—specifically for the 18 mm models.
