It detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals at up to 6 mm with an unshielded face — that unshielded design gives a longer sensing range than a shielded counterpart of the same diameter, but you'll need to leave some clearance from surrounding metal structure to avoid false triggers. Output is NPN normally-closed (NC), 3-wire, sinking current when the target is absent.
IP67/IP69K sealing protects against hose-down cleaning. Response frequency is 800 Hz. Supply voltage spans 10V to 30V. Stainless steel body resists corrosion.
