Product description

The Allen Bradley 872C-N8NP12-D4 is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor featuring an 8mm barrel diameter and a 12mm sensing face. It is constructed with a nickel-plated brass housing and provides a Normally Closed (NC) output for 120V AC operation. This sensor is designed for precise metallic object detection in demanding industrial applications.

This NC output proximity sensor is ideal for safety interlock circuits, signaling the absence of an object, or in applications where fail-safe operation is required. It's commonly used in machine guarding, material handling systems, and automated production lines.

Stanlo Automation, a veteran-owned supplier, offers the Allen Bradley 872C-N8NP12-D4. We specialize in providing surplus industrial automation parts to meet your operational needs efficiently and affordably.

Frequently asked questions

What is the output configuration of the Allen Bradley 872C-N8NP12-D4 proximity sensor?

The 872C-N8NP12-D4 features a Normally Closed (NC) output for 120V AC operation. This means the circuit is closed when no metallic object is detected and opens when an object enters the sensing range.
