SCHUNK 169914 Inductive Proximity Switch IN 60-M8

The SCHUNK IN 60-M8 inductive proximity switch (part number 169914) is a compact cylindrical sensor that detects metal targets without contact. It offers a 1.5 mm switching distance, a single switching point with a PNP output, and an M8 connection with a 30 cm molded cable, designed for 24 V DC operation (10–30 V range) and up to 0.2 A load with a 1.5 V voltage drop. The stainless steel housing is rated IP67 and provides protection against reverse polarity, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments. Typical applications include part presence sensing, end-of-travel or clamp/gripper monitoring, and other metal-detection tasks within automation cells and SCHUNK tooling ecosystems.
