Why Choose the EMAS SIM18FM1PC2 Inductive Sensor?
The EMAS SIM18FM1PC2 is a robust M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machinery. Part of the EMAS SIM Series, it combines a metal cylindrical housing with a PNP normally open (NO) transistor output for straightforward integration with compatible PLC and machine-control inputs.
The SIM18FM1PC2 provides a nominal sensing distance of 5 mm and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply. Manufacturer data identifies this exact model as a flush / embeddable sensor, allowing its active sensing face to be installed level with suitable surrounding metal. This makes it particularly useful for compact machine installations where a protected sensor position is required.
A permanently attached 2 m cable simplifies connection, while a switching frequency of 800 Hz supports fast repetitive detection. With IP67 protection and integrated reverse-polarity and short-circuit protection, the SIM18FM1PC2 is engineered for dependable operation in demanding industrial sensing applications.

Fast and Reliable Flush-Mounted Inductive Detection
The EMAS SIM18FM1PC2 uses an electromagnetic sensing field to detect metallic targets without physical contact. When a suitable metal object enters the sensor's 5 mm sensing zone, the electronic output switches, providing a repeatable signal for compatible PLCs and industrial controllers.
Its flush construction allows the active sensing face to be installed level with suitable surrounding metal, helping protect the sensor and simplify integration into machinery. Combined with its 800 Hz switching frequency, PNP normally open output and IP67 enclosure, the SIM18FM1PC2 provides a practical solution for high-cycle industrial position and presence detection.
Typical Applications
- Metal component presence detection.
- Machine position and end-position sensing.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
