PL-08N Proximity Sensor Inductive, NPN, Normally Open (NO), 8mm Detection Distance, PL-08N Auto Leveling Position Sensor Proximity Switch

The PL-08N inductive proximity sensor is a non-contact, NPN Normally Open (NO) sensor with an 8mm detection distance, commonly used in industrial automation and 3D printer bed leveling. It operates on a DC 10-30V power supply.

Key Specifications

Features and Applications

• Non-Contact Detection: The sensor uses an electromagnetic field to detect the presence, movement, and position of metallic objects without physical contact, ensuring durability and reduced wear and tear.
• Durable Construction: It is built with an ABS material detection surface and has an IP-67 protection class, making it suitable for various industrial environments.
• Ease of Use: The sensor is 3-wire and easy to wire up, featuring a built-in red LED that illuminates when an object is detected, providing visual confirmation.
• Versatile Applications: Beyond general industrial automation for counting or position detection, the FOTEK PL-08N and similar models are widely used in the 3D printing community, particularly for bed leveling on Voron and Switchwire printers.
