It is a 2-wire AC\/DC device with a normally open output, designed to be mounted in the cylinder port to deliver a simple switch signal to a PLC when the piston reaches a defined position. This model is a discontinued Rockwell Automation product, with a discontinuation date of July 15, 2021, and its functional replacement is the 871D-LW2N260-N3, which maintains the same sensing characteristics in a different housing. Typical applications include automated manufacturing lines and machine automation requiring end-of-stroke sensing, safety interlocks, or sequencing in hydraulic or similar cylinder actuation, where a compact inductive sensor provides reliable position feedback without contact. Inductive sensing detects metal targets on the piston rod, enabling robust, non-contact position feedback in rugged industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen-Bradley","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51657409233198,"sku":null,"price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_118e64a6-9fec-4ddd-8164-39d8d08673a6.jpg?v=1769468666","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/allen-bradley-871d-bw2n260-n3-cylinder-position-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
