Pro-Range CLJ-A8M-1.5ANB NC NPN M8 Inductive Proximity Sensor - 1.5mm Detection

This sensor features a 3-wire NPN Normally Closed (NC) output. The standard wiring is: Brown wire to DC positive (10-30V), Blue wire to DC negative (0V), and Black wire as the signal output. In the NC configuration, the output is normally at a low voltage (sinking current) when no target is present and switches to a high-impedance state when a metal target is detected within the 1.5mm range.

The CLJ-A8M-1.5ANB can detect both ferrous (e.g., steel, iron) and non-ferrous (e.g., aluminum, copper, brass) metals. However, the effective sensing distance may vary slightly depending on the target material's conductivity and permeability; ferrous metals typically provide the full rated 1.5mm detection distance, while non-ferrous metals may require a slightly closer proximity.

Install the sensor by threading its M8 x 1mm barrel into a pre-tapped mounting hole in your machine frame or a compatible sensor bracket. Ensure the sensing face is flush and unobstructed. Tighten using a wrench on the CubePilot flats, being careful not to over-torque. Maintain the specified 1.5mm gap between the sensor face and the target metal surface for reliable operation.

Yes. With its solid-state NPN output and fast response time, it is suitable for high-speed counting and detection applications. The robust metal housing offers resistance to mechanical impacts, oil, and non-corrosive coolants. However, it is not submersible and should be protected from direct, high-pressure water jets or highly corrosive chemicals.
