Carlo Gavazzi EI1805TBCFS-3 M18 stainless steel inductive proximity sensor with 5 mm sensing distance, two-wire SCR normally closed output and plug connection for industrial automation and machine sensing applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1805TBCFS-3 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1805TBCFS-3 is a robust M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the established Carlo Gavazzi EI18 series, it combines a stainless steel cylindrical housing with a two-wire SCR normally closed output for dependable switching in AC control applications.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 5 mm and is designed for flush mounting in metal. Its shielded M18 sensing arrangement allows the sensor to be integrated neatly into machinery and fixtures, while non-contact operation eliminates the mechanical switching wear associated with conventional limit switches.
The EI1805TBCFS-3 is designed for industrial AC sensing applications requiring a normally closed SCR output. Its stainless steel construction provides durability for demanding machine environments, while the plug connection allows convenient installation, sensor replacement and maintenance without permanently attached cabling.
