The all-stainless steel X-Series Pile Driver extended-range proximity sensors now come in an 8-mmdiameter version

The all-stainless steel X-Series Pile Driver extended-range proximity sensors now come in an 8-mmdiameter version. With barrel lengths as short as 35 mm, the sensors deliver a 3-mm sensing range – 50% more range than that of their 12-mmdiameter counterparts.

Use of 100% stainless-steel housings delivers more durability than brass and plastic housings, and Black Armor-coated weld-immune models repel even the hottest slag particles. Pig-tail connect versions feature integral high visibility power supply and target presence LEDs. Pile Driver sensors are also available in 12, 18, and 30-mm diameters to deliver sensing ranges of 5, 10, or 15 mm. The sensors can detect all metals.
