Value Collection 70716266 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 70716266 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor housed in stainless steel. Inductive proximity sensors detect the presence of metallic objects without physical contact by generating an electromagnetic field and sensing disturbances caused by nearby metal targets. This non-contact detection method makes the sensor well suited for harsh industrial environments where mechanical wear is a concern. The stainless steel cylinder body provides corrosion resistance and durability under repeated exposure to coolants, oils, and other fluids common in manufacturing and process control settings. Installation and commissioning are typically handled by licensed electricians or qualified industrial maintenance technicians.

Cylindrical inductive proximity sensors like the 70716266 are commonly used in automated machinery, conveyor systems, and process equipment where reliable, repeatable metal-object detection is required. They are found in both light industrial and heavy manufacturing applications, including machine tool positioning, assembly line part detection, and hydraulic or pneumatic actuator feedback. The cylindrical form factor allows easy mounting in standard threaded bores or bracket assemblies.

Key Features

• Inductive sensing technology for non-contact metallic object detection
• Cylindrical body style for straightforward threaded or bracket mounting
• Stainless steel housing for corrosion resistance in wet or oily environments
• Suitable for use in automated machinery and process control applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install cylindrical inductive proximity sensor for industrial automation and machine control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified industrial maintenance technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize all relevant circuits and lock out the equipment before mounting or wiring the sensor. Verify that the sensor's electrical ratings are compatible with the control circuit before energizing. Avoid over-tightening the sensor body in threaded mounting holes to prevent housing damage.
