M18 18mm Diameter Inductive Proximity Sensor

M18 18mm Diameter Inductive Proximity Sensor Introduction:

• Lorentzzi M18 proximity sensor means the body diameter is 18 mm. There are 22 different models according to detection distance and output differences, they are LM18-3005NA, LM18-3008NA, and so on. If you want to know more models, please have a look at the data table below for this kind of sensor.
• The M18 inductive proximity sensor is a nickel-plated brass housing sensor, it is designed to detect metallic materials without touching them directly, so it can replace a limit switch in some applications.
• This M18 proximity sensor detection distance can be 5 mm or 8 mm, shielded one is 5 mm, non-shielded one is 8 mm(Want to learn more about Shielded and Non-shielded Sensors? Please look at this blog).
• Outputs can be PNP+NO, PNP+NC, PNP+NO and NC, or NPN+NO, NPN+NC, NPN+NO and NC.
• It has a red led indicator to indicate its working status, once the object is within its detection range, the indicator will light on.
• This sensor has other models as well from different sensor manufacturers, such as LJ18A3-8-Z/BX, LJ18A3-8-Z/BY etc..
• Widely used in many applications, such as counting devices, protection equipment, position control and so on.
• Besides this inductive sensor, we can produce another M18 capacitive sensor.
