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

✨Features

✅ Flush (Shielded) Integration: Designed with a shielded coil that allows the sensor to be mounted flush with the surrounding metal surface. This protects the sensor head from mechanical impact and saves installation space compared to non-flush versions.
✅ Flexible Sensing Ranges: Available in a standard 5mm range or an extended 8mm range within the same M18 flush housing, allowing users to choose the appropriate distance based on target proximity.
✅ High-Durability Housing: The body is constructed from Nickel-Copper Alloy, which provides superior structural integrity and corrosion resistance compared to plastic or standard brass sensors.
✅ Reliable Switching: Operates at a frequency of 500 Hz with a high load capacity of 200 mA, making it suitable for standard speed automation tasks and direct relay control.

Product Introduction

The M18 Inductive Proximity Sensor (NPN Flush) is a rugged and versatile sensing component designed for mainstream industrial automation. Utilizing the industry-standard M18 threaded housing, it is easily integrated into brackets and machine frames.

The Flush (Shielded) design is particularly beneficial in tight spaces where the sensor must be embedded in metal without false triggering. With options for 5mm or 8mm sensing distances, it offers flexibility for detecting machine parts, cams, or metal pallets. Engineered with a Nickel-Copper Alloy shell and sealed to IP67 standards, it delivers consistent performance in environments ranging from -25 C to +70 C, resisting oil, dust, and water ingress.
