Eaton Series Unthreaded Inductive Proximity Sensor, Stainless Steel

Eaton E57 Series Unthreaded Inductive Proximity Sensor, Stainless Steel

The Eaton E57 Series Unthreaded Inductive Proximity Sensor is a miniature short-body sensor built with a stainless steel enclosure for reliable position and object detection in demanding industrial environments. This unthreaded, straight-body design operates on a 10-30 Vdc input voltage with a maximum DC current of 200 mA, and the E57 family is available across sensing ranges up to 0.8 mm to match your application. Rated NEMA 4, NEMA 4X, NEMA 6, NEMA 6P, NEMA 12, NEMA 13 and IP67, and UL Listed with CE Marking, this sensor is engineered for dependable performance in wet, dusty, and washdown-prone locations.
