BB-M1204N-C11S12-1200 Proximity sensor

BB-M1204N-C11S12-1200 Proximity sensor
Technical Specifications BreakdownThe model number provides important details about its specific configuration:

• Sensor Type: Inductive (optimized for metal detection like iron, steel, copper, and aluminium).
• Housing Diameter: M12 metric threaded barrel, allowing for easy mounting and positional adjustments. 
• Sensing Distance: 4 mm range. 
• Mounting Configuration: Flush (shielded) mounting, which allows the sensor to be embedded directly into a metal mounting block up to its sensing face without causing a false trigger. [
• Output Type: NPN transistor logic
• Operation Mode: Normally Open (NO) configuration, meaning the circuit closes (turns ON) only when metal is detected. 
• Electrical Connection: M12 4-pin plug connector style (rather than a hardwired integrated cable), allowing for fast replacement and maintenance. 
• Operating Voltage: Standard 10–30V DC power supply window.

Primary Applications

• Position Sensing: Monitoring the travel limits of pneumatic cylinders, robotic arms, and automated slides.
• Object Counting: Tracking metallic parts moving down high-speed assembly line conveyor belts.
• Safety Interlocks: Detecting whether metallic machine guards or access doors are completely closed before allowing operation.
