Product Description

The Keyence EV-12M is an inductive proximity sensor designed for precise detection of ferrous metals in industrial automation applications. Featuring a shielded M12 cylindrical form factor, it offers a detecting distance of 2.5 mm with a ±10% tolerance. The sensor operates on an AC voltage range of 24 to 240 VAC and includes a 2-meter cable for flexible installation. Its robust construction, with an IP67 enclosure rating, ensures reliable performance in harsh environments, withstanding ambient temperatures from -25°C to +80°C and relative humidity levels from 35% to 95% (non-condensing). The EV-12M is equipped with a short-circuit protection circuit and provides a switching capacity of 5 to 200 mA, making it suitable for various industrial control systems.​
