Allen-Bradley 871TM-D5ED18-D5 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Allen-Bradley 871TM-D5ED18-D5 is a DeviceNet inductive proximity sensor with an 18 mm stainless-steel tubular housing and a 5 mm nominal sensing distance, designed for non-contact detection of metal targets in automated equipment. This shielded sensor features a metal-face construction for rugged industrial use and provides programmable normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) outputs, with a Micro QD (DC) connector that enables quick field wiring and fast replacement. The compact 18 mm diameter form factor pairs with a 5 mm sensing range to fit tight spaces in DeviceNet control networks while delivering repeatable sensing performance. Designed for DeviceNet integration, it supports metal presence and component-sensing tasks in automated lines, reducing wear on mechanical switches and enabling clean logic interfacing in control systems. Its rugged stainless-steel body and shielded design help it tolerate harsh factory environments while maintaining reliable sensing in continuous operation.
