Product Description

The Keyence EM-038P is a shielded, cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with a 3.8 mm diameter, designed for precise detection of ferrous metals in industrial automation applications. It features a 0.8 mm detecting distance with a ±15% tolerance and operates in Normally Open (N.O.) mode. The sensor offers a response frequency of 1.2 kHz and includes a red LED indicator for status monitoring. It provides a PNP output with a maximum control output of 200 mA at 30 V, ensuring reliable signal transmission. The EM-038P is housed in a stainless steel casing and has an IP67 enclosure rating, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. It operates on a 10.8 to 30 VDC power supply and includes a 2-meter cable for flexible installation.
