Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1808PPOPL-1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1808PPOPL-1 is a compact M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI18 family, it combines a long-body thermoplastic polyester housing with a PNP normally open output and convenient M12 plug connection.
Using inductive sensing technology, the EI1808PPOPL-1 detects metallic objects without requiring physical contact. Its 8 mm rated operating distance and non-flush sensing configuration provide an extended detection range for an M18 sensor, making it suitable for machine positioning, component presence detection, travel monitoring and automated process sequencing.
The EI1808PPOPL-1 operates from a 10–40 V DC supply, supports a maximum output current of 200 mA and provides a maximum switching frequency of 400 Hz. An M12 plug connection, -25 to +70 °C operating range and IP67 protection make it a practical sensing solution for industrial machinery and factory automation.

Reliable Extended-Range Inductive Detection
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and responding when a conductive target enters the detection zone. Because sensing takes place without physical contact, this technology provides a durable solution for repetitive industrial applications where mechanically actuated switches can be subject to wear.
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1808PPOPL-1 combines this proven sensing principle with an 8 mm sensing distance, non-flush M18 construction and PNP normally open switching. Its 400 Hz switching capability supports responsive position and presence feedback, while the M12 plug enables convenient installation and sensor replacement within automated machinery.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- End-position and travel monitoring.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Automated assembly machinery.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Factory automation and process sequencing.
- OEM machinery and industrial control systems.
