Overview of Allen Bradley 875C-M5NP18-P3

The Allen Bradley 875C-M5NP18-P3 is a capacitive proximity sensor engineered for precise object detection in industrial automation environments. This sensor combines an 18 mm threaded nickel-plated brass barrel with a durable plastic sensing face, offering reliable performance across demanding manufacturing and process control applications. The capacitive sensing technology allows detection of metallic and non-metallic materials, including liquids, powders, and granular substances, making it versatile for material handling, packaging, and level sensing tasks. Configured with PNP output logic and normally open (NO) contact operation, this sensor integrates directly into DC control circuits operating between 10-30V DC. The adjustable sensing range from 1 mm to 5 mm provides flexibility for different target materials and mounting configurations. The shielded design minimizes interference from adjacent metal structures, ensuring stable operation in tight installation spaces. Equipped with a Pico quick disconnect (QD) connector, the 875C-M5NP18-P3 simplifies installation and maintenance, reducing downtime during sensor replacement or system reconfiguration.

Applications / Use Case

The Allen Bradley 875C-M5NP18-P3 capacitive proximity sensor excels in applications requiring non-contact detection of diverse materials. In packaging operations, it monitors fill levels of bottles, containers, and hoppers containing liquids, powders, or granular products without direct contact, preventing contamination and wear. Material handling systems utilize this sensor to detect the presence of cardboard, plastic, wood, and metal objects on conveyor lines, triggering diverters, gates, or sorting mechanisms at precise positions. Process industries employ the 875C-M5NP18-P3 for level sensing in tanks and silos containing chemicals, food ingredients, or bulk materials, where the sensor's ability to detect through non-metallic vessel walls simplifies installation and maintenance. Woodworking and furniture manufacturing benefit from reliable detection of panels, boards, and finished products regardless of moisture content or surface finish. The adjustable sensing range allows calibration for different material densities and dielectric constants, making the sensor adaptable to changing production requirements. Automotive assembly lines use this sensor to verify component presence during assembly sequences, ensuring quality control without mechanical contact that could damage sensitive parts or finishes.
