M18 3-wire DC Inductive proximity Sensor

An M18 3-wire DC inductive proximity sensor is a commonly used type of sensor for detecting metallic objects without physical contact. These sensors are popular in various industrial applications due to their reliability, durability, and ease of integration. Here are the detailed features, applications, specifications, and installation guidelines for an M18 3-wire DC inductive proximity sensor:

General Features:

  1. Detection Method: Uses electromagnetic fields to detect the presence of metallic objects.
  2. Sensing Distance: Typically ranges from 5 to 10 mm for M18 size sensors.
  3. Output Type: Three-wire sensors generally provide either NPN (sinking) or PNP (sourcing) output configurations.
  4. Power Supply: Operates on a low voltage DC supply, commonly 10-30V DC.
  5. Housing: M18 refers to the diameter of the sensor body, which is 18 mm.
  6. Connection: Usually features a connector or pre-wired cable for easy connection to control systems.
  7. Environmental Protection: Often comes with an IP67 or higher rating, making it suitable for harsh environments.

Typical Applications:

  • Manufacturing: Used for position sensing, counting, and automation tasks.
  • Automotive: Detecting metal components in assembly lines and machines.
  • Packaging: Monitoring the presence and position of metallic packages.
  • Material Handling: Ensuring the proper flow of metal parts on conveyors.
  • Robotics: Used for end-of-arm tooling and position feedback in robotic systems.
