SCHUNK IN 65-M8 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The SCHUNK IN 65-M8 inductive proximity sensor is a compact cylindrical switch designed for non-contact metal detection in automation, with a 6.5 mm sensor diameter and an M8-style electrical connection. It ships with a 30 cm interconnect cable, providing flexible mounting in tight spaces. The device offers a switching distance of 1.5 mm, enabling reliable detection when a metal target passes within the sensing range, and it operates with a nominal 24 V DC supply using a PNP output configuration. This combination of small form factor, short sensing range, and standard M8 wiring makes the IN 65-M8 well-suited for compact inline sensing tasks such as position verification, end-of-travel sensing, and presence checks on moving components like grippers, conveyors, and feeders in automated systems.
