Contrinex DW-AD-503-M8 Inductive Sensor

The Contrinex DW-AD-503-M8 is a compact inductive sensor tailored for close-range metal detection in automated machinery. With an operating range of 3 mm and a maximum switching frequency of 1000 Hz, it performs consistently in medium-speed applications where accuracy matters. The sensor operates on a 10–30V DC power supply and delivers output via a PNP Normally Open (NO) configuration. It also supports IO-Link communication, allowing real-time data access, remote configuration, and predictive diagnostics. The M8 cylindrical housing is crafted from chrome-plated nickel silver for durability in corrosive or high-vibration environments. Rated at IP67, the sensor is resistant to dust, moisture, and oil, making it suitable for rough industrial conditions. The unit includes a 2-meter PVC cable with 3-wire output and functions reliably across a temperature range of -25°C to +70°C.

Thanks to its embeddable M8 design, the DW-AD-503-M8 is frequently installed in space-restricted machines, automated testing fixtures, small conveyors, and robotic arms. Engineers choose this model for its size-to-performance ratio and rugged housing that stands up to challenging conditions. The IO-Link interface enables seamless integration with PLCs and modern smart factory systems, making it suitable for Industry 4.0 environments. Its stable detection range and fast response time make it effective in precision positioning, metal part counting, and presence sensing tasks. The Contrinex DW-AD-503-M8 delivers dependable performance where compactness, durability, and intelligent sensing are key to minimizing downtime and maintaining workflow continuity.
