M18 NPN NO Inductive Proximity Sensor 06-36 VDC Sensing 8 mm

The M18 NPN NO Inductive Proximity Sensor is an efficient, contactless sensor designed for detecting metallic objects in industrial environments. It operates within a voltage range of 06-36 VDC and offers an 8mm sensing range, making it suitable for a variety of automation and control applications. The M18 refers to the sensor’s cylindrical housing, which has an 18mm diameter, a standard size widely used in industrial automation systems for proximity sensing.

This sensor is of the NPN type, meaning it provides a negative switching output. When the sensor detects the presence of a metallic object, the output will be pulled low or grounded. The NO (Normally Open) configuration means the sensor will remain inactive until it detects a metallic object, at which point it will close the circuit, providing a low signal output.

This makes the M18 NPN NO sensor ideal for use in safety applications, position detection, and automation systems where a reliable signal is needed for the operation of machines or systems. Its ability to detect metal objects without physical contact increases its lifespan and reliability, especially in harsh environments with moving machinery. The sensor is built with high durability to withstand conditions such as dust, moisture, and vibration in industrial setups.

Features:

• Inductive Sensing: Detects metallic objects within an 8mm range without contact.
• NPN Output: Provides a negative voltage signal when an object is detected, typically pulling the output to ground (low).
• Normally Open (NO): The circuit remains open (inactive) until a metallic object is detected.
• Wide Voltage Range: Operates between 06-36 VDC, making it compatible with many industrial systems and control circuits.
• Compact M18 Size: Standard 18mm cylindrical housing for easy installation and integration into various machines.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand tough industrial environments, with protection against dust and moisture.
• Easy Integration: Compatible with a variety of control systems and suitable for safety, positioning, and detection applications.

Applications:

• Industrial Automation: Perfect for detecting metal objects in automated assembly lines, conveyor belts, and robotic systems.
• Machine Safety: Used in safety systems to detect the presence of objects and ensure safe machine operation, such as overload protection or safety switches.
