ia18asf08nom1 – ind prox bs m18 3w npn no plug
Carlo Gavazzi IA18ASF08NOM1 is a flush-mountable M18 3-wire DC NPN normally open inductive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance, M12 connector and IP67 protection for industrial automation.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA18ASF08NOM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA18ASF08NOM1 is a robust M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Part of Carlo Gavazzi's extended-range IA family, this short-body sensor combines an 8 mm nominal sensing distance with a compact cylindrical format for dependable detection where installation space is limited.
The IA18ASF08NOM1 features a 3-wire DC NPN normally open (NO) output and an M12 connector, enabling straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs and industrial control circuits. Its flush-mountable design allows the sensing face to be installed within surrounding metal, making it particularly useful for machinery, fixtures and automated equipment.
With a 10–40 V DC rated operating voltage, output capability up to 200 mA and IP67 protection, the IA18ASF08NOM1 provides a durable sensing solution for demanding industrial environments. Its nickel-plated brass housing, integrated yellow LED indication and electrical protection features support reliable operation and convenient machine diagnostics.
