Overview

SUCH inductive type proximity sensor can detect a variety of metals in harsh industrial environments. It comes with M18*1 thread, unshielded/shielded type installation, 8mm detection distance, IP67 protection class. 2 wire/3 wire/NPN/PNP inductive proximity switch for selection.

Feature

SUCH inductive proximity sensor uses an intelligent sensing chip with fast response and strong anti-interference capability to accurately detect nearby metal objects. With high repeat positioning accuracy, high switching frequency, and selectable NPN/PNP (NO/NC) output modes, it ensures stable and reliable operation in various applications.
It is equipped with a red LED indicator that clearly shows the operating state. When a metal target is detected, the indicator turns on or off according to the NO/NC mode, making on-site debugging and monitoring easier.
M18 inductive proximity switch offers vibration, dust, water, and oil resistance, supports a wide voltage range, and includes reverse polarity and short-circuit protection for direct PLC connection. Its robust construction allows it to replace small mechanical switches and limit switches while maintaining stable performance in harsh environments.

FAQ

Q1: What is the detection distance range of the M18 inductive proximity sensor, and how does it compare to M12 models? ❯

The M18 inductive proximity sensor has a longer detection distance: 8mm or 5mm for magnetic metals, which is nearly double that of M12 models. It is ideal for applications where targets are farther from the sensor (e.g., large machinery parts, pallet detection).

Q2: Can the 3-wire M18 proximity sensor be configured for both NO and NC output, or is it fixed? ❯

Most 3-wire M18 inductive proximity sensors have a fixed output type (NO or NC) determined at the time of purchase. However, some advanced models offer switchable NO/NC via a built-in dip switch—check the product details for this feature.

Q3: What is the temperature influence for this inductive proximity switch? ❯

Temperature range -30~65℃, at +23℃, ±15% detection distance; Temperature range -25~60℃, at +23℃, ±10% detection distance
