Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI5510NPAP Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI5510NPAP is a compact flat-pack inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery, conveying and material handling systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI55 series, it combines a durable polycarbonate rectangular housing with complementary NPN normally open and normally closed outputs for flexible integration into DC automation systems.
With a 10 mm rated operating distance, the EI5510NPAP is designed for flush mounting in metal and provides repeatable detection without physical contact with the target. Its four-wire NPN output provides both NO and NC switching functions, allowing the sensor to support a broad range of machine control, position monitoring and presence-detection requirements.
The EI5510NPAP operates from a 10–40 V DC rated supply, supports up to 200 mA output current and offers a maximum operating frequency of 500 Hz. Its 35 × 55 × 15 mm flat-pack housing, 2 m cable, yellow LED output indication and IP67 protection make it a practical solution for demanding industrial sensing installations.

Reliable Flat-Pack Sensing for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect conductive metallic targets using an electromagnetic sensing field, enabling machine components to be monitored without mechanical contact. This contactless principle reduces physical wear and supports repeatable switching in automated equipment where reliable position and presence detection is required.
The Carlo Gavazzi EI5510NPAP combines a compact flat-pack format with a 10 mm sensing distance and complementary NPN NO + NC outputs. Its two-hole mounting arrangement and rectangular polycarbonate housing make the EI55 series particularly suitable for conveying, material handling and machine automation applications where conventional cylindrical sensors may be less convenient to install.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Industrial machine position and presence detection.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Metal component detection and counting.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Factory automation and machine control systems.
