Industrial Proximity Sensor
The Eaton E57G-18UPC8-C2 is an 18 mm diameter inductive cylindrical proximity sensor built for machine-shop and automation tasks. It detects metal targets at up to 8 mm without physical contact and operates on a 10 to 30V DC supply, making it suited for PLC inputs and relay logic.
Thermal and Electrical Behaviour
The sensor draws a maximum load current of 100 mA and switches at an operating frequency of 1,200 Hz. With an operating temperature range of -13 to 158 degrees F, it maintains stable performance in cold storage areas and hot machine environments without derating.
Build and Mounting Practicalities
A stainless-steel barrel measuring 66 mm long provides NEMA 4X and IP67 protection against wash-down, oil and temporary immersion. The unshielded design requires clear space around the sensing face, while the 2 m pre-wired cable with a 3-wire PNP NC output simplifies termination in cable trays or conduit.

Questions about this item
How do I install the E57G-18UPC8-C2 sensor and what is the common wiring mistake?
Mount the 18 mm stainless steel barrel with a 66 mm clearance, connect the 2 m cable to a 10 to 30V DC supply, and wire the three leads for PNP NC output; the frequent error is reversing the load and supply wires on the PNP circuit.
What maintenance or replacement will the E57G-18UPC8-C2 need over time?
The IP67 and NEMA 4X sealed stainless steel body needs no routine maintenance; replace the unit if the 1,200 Hz switching degrades or the 100 mA output fails after prolonged exposure to the -13 to 158 °F range.
What is the first limit reached under continuous operation of the E57G-18UPC8-C2?
The 8 mm maximum detecting distance on the unshielded face is the first constraint; targets beyond that range will not trigger the PNP NC output even though the 1,200 Hz frequency and 100 mA load capacity remain available.
