  • Chrome-plated brass housing resists harsh environments

Application fit

This inductive sensor is built for non-flush mounting on M18 threads and delivers a complementary NPN output through an M12 connector. It suits automation engineers who need a chrome-plated brass housing rated for 10 to 65 VDC supply voltage.

Not for flush installs

Builders who require a flush-mount format or a PNP switching signal should select a different model. The sensor also does not support AC supply voltages, so installations limited to AC control circuits cannot use it.

Deciding specification

The rated switching distance is 8 mm at the specified DC supply range. This single figure determines whether the sensing reach matches the target position in your machine layout.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the M18 8mm version or another size for my application?

This sensor has an M18 × 1 threaded barrel with an 8 mm rated switching distance and non-flush mounting. Select it when you need that exact thread size and sensing range; other barrel diameters or switching distances would be different models.

What does the 8 mm rated switching distance mean once the sensor is installed?

The sensor will reliably detect a standard metal target when it comes within 8 mm of the sensing face. Because mounting is non-flush, keep the surrounding area clear of metal to maintain that distance.

How does the M12 connector and 10–65 VDC range limit what I can connect?

The 4-wire DC sensor uses an M12 × 1 male connector for power and complementary NPN output. It operates only on 10–65 VDC supplies, so the connected controller or PLC must provide voltage within that window and accept NPN signals.
