Siemens 3RG4013-0CC00 Inductive Proximity Switch

Siemens 3RG4013-0CC00 is a cylindrical M18 inductive proximity switch from the BERO family, designed for non-contact detection of metal targets in automated equipment. It operates from a DC supply of 10 to 30 V and provides a PNP (sourcing) output, making it compatible with standard PLC inputs. Supplied with a four-conductor cable, it offers a compact, robust sensing solution for machine automation. With a 5 mm flush sensing distance, it detects metal objects through minimal stand-off, enabling repeatable position sensing on conveyors, machining cells, and robot tooling without physical contact. The unit draws up to about 50 mA during operation and is suited for on-board logic control and signaling in demanding industrial environments. Ideal uses include end-of-travel sensing, part-position verification, and generic metal-detection tasks where quick response and reliable repeatability are required. Packaging and mounting options follow Siemens' standard M18 form factor for straightforward integration.
