M18 Inductive Proximity Sensor - NPN NO/NC (Non-Flush)

✨Features

✅ Non-Flush Design for Extended Range: The Non-Flush (Non-Shielded) construction exposes the sensing coil, allowing for a longer detection range of 8mm or 12mm compared to flush-mounted versions. This is ideal for applications where the target cannot be positioned very close to the sensor.
✅ Robust Metal Housing: Built with a high-grade Nickel-Copper Alloy shell, providing superior resistance to impact and corrosion compared to plastic or standard brass alternatives.
✅ High Load Capacity: Supports a maximum load current of 200 mA, capable of directly driving industrial relays, solenoids, or PLC inputs.
✅ Reliable Operation: Features low leakage current (< 0.01 mA) and operates efficiently across a wide temperature range (-25 C to +70 C) with IP67 protection against water and dust.

Product Introduction

The M18 Inductive Proximity Sensor (NPN Non-Flush) is a durable mid-sized sensing solution designed for heavy-duty industrial automation. Its M18 threaded body is a standard in the industry, making it easy to retrofit into existing conveyor systems, packaging lines, and machine tools.

This specific series features a Non-Flush mounting configuration, offering extended sensing distances of 8mm or 12mm. While this requires clear space around the sensor head during installation, it provides a crucial advantage in detecting larger or irregular objects. Housed in a Nickel-Copper Alloy body with a PBT sensing face, it is built to last. With a switching frequency of 150 Hz and a 10-30V DC operating range, it ensures stable and accurate position feedback for general-purpose automation tasks.
