Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1808NPCSS Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1808NPCSS is a robust M18 stainless-steel inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI18 sensor range, it combines an extended 8 mm sensing distance, short-body construction and cable connection for dependable integration into industrial equipment.
The EI1808NPCSS provides a rated operating distance of 8 mm and features an NPN normally closed (NC), 3-wire output. Its non-flush inductive sensing design enables metallic objects to be detected without physical contact, helping minimise mechanical wear while supporting repetitive position and presence detection.
Operating from a 10–40 V DC supply, the sensor supports a maximum output current of 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 400 Hz. Its stainless-steel M18 housing, factory-fitted 2 m cable and IP67 protection make it well suited to demanding industrial automation applications.
