The Allen Bradley 871T-G8K18 serves as an inductive proximity sensor, suitable for various applications requiring non-contact detection. Its design allows it to operate with an input voltage range from 20 volts to 132 volts AC, enabling flexibility in different setups. The 871T-G8K18 comes with a mini quick-disconnect connection, facilitating straightforward installation and maintenance.
This sensor operates with a normally open (NO) output, allowing it to signal detection events. The sensing range is set at 8 mm, making it ideal for applications requiring close-range detection. The sensor has a housing diameter of 18 mm, which is compact for easy placement in tight spaces. Its unshielded design is suitable for environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal.
The unit can sustain a maximum continuous load current of 500 mA and is capable of withstanding an inrush current of 5 A for a single cycle. The minimum supply current required for operation is 5 mA. Additionally, the off-state leakage current is notably low at 1.7 mA, which enhances overall efficiency. A red LED indicator is integrated to provide clear visibility of the output status.
With an operating temperature range extending from -40°C to +70°C, the 871T-G8K18 is built to perform reliably in extreme conditions, making it appropriate for outdoor and industrial environments.
