Inductive Proximity Sensor Datalogic IS-08-G2-S1 M8 PNP, flush mounting (95B066880)

Datalogic IS-08-G2-S1 is an M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects in automated systems. With a PNP output and flush mounting design, the sensor is intended for integration into tight spaces on production lines, conveyors and robotic assemblies. It offers straightforward digital switching for position sensing, presence detection and basic machine safety tasks where metal targets must be detected reliably.

Advantages

The sensor’s M8 form factor and flush mounting allow compact, space-saving installation close to metal targets. The PNP output provides a standard sourcing signal compatible with many control systems and PLC inputs. As an inductive device, it is resistant to dirt, oil and non-metal contaminants, delivering stable switching in industrial environments. Its simple electrical interface and robust sensing principle reduce the need for frequent adjustments or complex calibration.

Suitable for

• Conveyor belt monitoring and object counting
• Robotic end-of-arm tooling position feedback
• Presence detection of metal parts in assembly lines
• Position sensing for feeder and pick-and-place equipment
• Basic safety interlocks and machine status signals

Key specifications

• Sensing principle: inductive metal detection
• Thread size: M8 housing for flush mounting
• Output type: PNP (sourcing) digital switching
• Mounting: flush/embedded mounting capability
• Target type: ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects
• Environmental suitability: industrial use with resistance to dirt and oils

How to use

Install the sensor in a suitable M8 threaded holder or fixture ensuring the sensing face is aligned toward the target path. For flush mounting, embed the housing so the sensing face is level with surrounding material according to panel design. Connect the PNP output to the control input or PLC following standard wiring conventions and verify supply voltage and polarity before power-up. Adjust sensor position and gap to achieve reliable switching at the expected working distance from metal targets, and test with representative parts before commissioning.

Recommendations

Use this inductive proximity sensor where reliable metal detection is required in confined spaces. Avoid prolonged exposure of the sensing face to heavy impact or abrasive contact. For consistent performance, keep the sensing area free from heavy buildup of conductive residues and verify switching behaviour during routine maintenance.
