Garantta NPN Proximity Sensor is a 3‑wire DC cylindrical inductive proximity switch adopting electromagnetic induction principle for non‑contact metal detection. The NPN sinking‑output design is widely matched with sink‑input PLC, relay and industrial controllers. We supply full series M8/M12/M18/M30 sizes, including shielded(flush‑mountable), unshielded(non‑flush) and double‑distance long‑sensing versions, with NPN Normally‑Open (NO) / Normally‑Closed (NC) options. All units pass CE certification, IP67 protection grade, built‑in multi‑layer circuit protection for stable operation under harsh workshop environmentsgarantta.c...

Core Advantages & Key Features
- Nickel‑plated brass fully‑threaded housing High mechanical strength, excellent shock‑resistance and wear‑resistance. Standard cylindrical thread for simple screw mounting, saves installation space for compact machinery layout. Two housing length options: standard thread / long thread.
- Flexible output configuration 3‑wire DC, support NPN‑NO, NPN‑NC; same series also provide PNP‑NO / PNP‑NC for alternative selection.
- Red LED status indicator built‑in Clear visual feedback for detection status, greatly simplify on‑site commissioning, troubleshooting and routine inspection.
- Comprehensive circuit protection Reverse power‑supply protection, reverse output‑polarity protection, surge absorption, short‑circuit protection and overload current protection. Effectively prevent sensor damage caused by wrong wiring, voltage spike and field electromagnetic interference.
- Rich specification coverage Sensing range from 1.5 mm (M8 shielded) up to 30 mm (M30 double‑distance unshielded). Choose standard or double‑distance model according to target metal and installation constraints.
- Industrial‑grade environmental performance IP67 dust‑proof & water‑proof; working ambient temperature: ‑25℃ ~ +70℃, adapt to dust, vibration, oil‑mist workshop conditions.
- Non‑contact detection Zero mechanical friction and wear, extend service life; no spark, suitable for high‑speed repeated triggering.
FAQ
Q: What's your MOQ & sample policy?
A: We support sample orders for performance evaluation. Sample MOQ is 1‑2 pieces per model. For formal bulk orders, standard MOQ is 50 pcs per model. Samples can be shipped within 3‑5 working days, and sample freight is borne by the buyer.
Q: How long is your production lead time?
A: For standard in‑stock NPN Proximity Sensor models, lead time is 3‑7 working days. For bulk mass orders above 500 pcs, production lead time is 12‑18 working days. Customized items will require extra time, we will confirm exact schedule upon receiving your requirements.
Q: Can I customize cable length or M12 connector?
A: Yes. We support custom cable length from 0.5m up to 10m, and replacement with M12 4‑pin aviation connector. Small extra cost will apply for non‑standard versions. Please specify your requirements when sending inquiry.
Q: What is the warranty period of NPN Proximity Sensor?
A: Our inductive proximity sensors come with 2‑year factory warranty against manufacturing defects. The warranty does NOT cover damage caused by wrong wiring, over‑voltage, mechanical crash or harsh chemical corrosion.
Q: How to choose sensor for aluminum/copper workpiece?
A: Aluminum and copper will cause sensing‑distance attenuation. You can select our double‑distance series sensors to compensate metal attenuation. Please provide your target metal material and required detection distance, our engineer will recommend the proper model for you.
Q: Do you support OEM & ODM customization?
A: OEM & ODM services are available. We can do private‑label logo printing, customized cable assembly, parameter adjustment and special packaging. Certain MOQ is required for OEM/ODM projects, contact us for detailed terms.
