Product Overview
Contrinex DW-AS-713-M8-001 is an M8 cylindrical inductive proximity sensor engineered for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial equipment. Built with a stainless steel barrel and an M8 3-pin quick-disconnect connector, this non-embeddable sensor provides an extended 6 mm operating distance with PNP normally open switching logic.
Key Features
- M8 x 1 threaded stainless steel cylindrical housing (60 mm overall length)
- 6 mm nominal operating distance (Sn) with non-embeddable mounting
- Solid-state PNP normally open (N.O.) output configuration
- 10 to 30 VDC operating supply voltage range with up to 200 mA load current
- Integral 3-pin M8 male quick-disconnect connector
- Fast switching response rated up to 700 Hz
- IP67 and IP68 rated environmental ingress protection
- Includes two M8 mounting nuts and one toothed lock washer
Applications
- Detects part positioning and travel limits on automated packaging and assembly machinery.
- Monitors rotational indexing and target counting along material handling conveyors.
- Provides home-position sensing on custom CNC routers, 3D printers, and maker robotics projects requiring non-contact metal detection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What mating connector does this sensor require?
This unit features an integrated 3-pin M8 male connector. A standard 3-pin M8 female cordset is required to connect power and output signals. Cables are not included.
Can this proximity sensor be mounted flush with surrounding metal?
No. This model is non-embeddable (non-flush), which allows its extended 6 mm sensing range. It requires open clearance around the sensing face to prevent surrounding metal from causing false triggers.
Why buy a single unused sensor here instead of chasing a surplus lot?
Buying an individually verified, photographed sensor gets your equipment back online immediately without paying for extra parts you do not need. This item clears the free-shipping line on its own, and orders leave the Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
An M8 stainless barrel with a 6 mm reach does the steady, invisible work that keeps a line moving. Thread it into place, plug in your connector, and let the machine run.
