Overview

The Carlo Gavazzi DU6 is a 6mm NAMUR inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable, contactless detection of metal objects in industrial environments. Part of Carlo Gavazzi’s DU series, this sensor offers flush and non-flush mounting options with an extended sensing range up to 40mm, making it ideal for packaging machinery, plastics processing, assembly lines, and conveyor systems. The DU6 is compatible with IC40 long housings and supports AC and AC/DC supply voltages. For amplifier integration, the LDP and LDD amplifiers provide universal supply voltage (24-240VAC/VDC), plug-in or DIN rail mounting, and advanced diagnostics including automatic sensitivity and frequency adjustment. The LDP and LDD amplifiers feature 2 SPDT relay outputs, adjustable sensitivity, and robust construction with IP67, IP68, or IP69K ratings for harsh environments. The DU6 sensor itself is available with cable or M12 connector connectivity, stainless steel or PBT housing, and is certified to CE, cULus, and E1 standards. With a sensing distance of ≤40mm and output options including NPN/PNP (NO/NC or NO+NC), the DU6 delivers precise, repeatable detection in demanding industrial applications.
