Allen-Bradley 871P-E13GRF Inductive Proximity Switch

The Allen-Bradley 871P-E13GRF Inductive Proximity Switch is a left‑detection, inductive proximity sensor in Rockwell Automation’s 871P family. This non‑contact metal detector senses metallic targets without physical contact, making it suitable for position sensing on conveyors, guard interlocks, and automated assembly equipment in demanding industrial environments. It is specified for a maximum output current of 0.5 A and a supply voltage up to 132 V AC, enabling straightforward integration with common AC-powered control circuits and legacy automation hardware. The E13GRF suffix identifies a left‑detection variant within the 871P lineup, with related entries indicating a left‑facing orientation (R3). When integrated with compatible Allen‑Bradley control systems, this switch provides reliable metal detection signals to drive downstream logic, alarms, or actuators without mechanical wear or contact with the target.
