ei1808tbofs-3 – ind prox ss m18 scr no,plug
Carlo Gavazzi EI1808TBOFS-3 is an M18 stainless-steel inductive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance, normally open SCR output, plug connection and 24–240 V AC rated operational voltage.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1808TBOFS-3 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1808TBOFS-3 is a robust M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI series, this cylindrical sensor combines a durable stainless-steel housing with SCR switching technology for dependable operation in demanding environments.
Designed with an 8 mm rated operating distance, the EI1808TBOFS-3 provides effective metal detection without requiring physical contact with the target. Its normally open make-switching SCR output is suitable for AC industrial control applications, while the integrated yellow LED provides convenient visual indication when the output is active.
The EI1808TBOFS-3 operates from a 24–240 V AC rated supply and features an M18 cylindrical body intended for non-flush mounting in metal. An industrial plug connection simplifies sensor replacement and machine wiring, while IP67 protection and stainless-steel construction support reliable service in industrial automation, material handling and machine control applications.
