Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PA18CRR50NASA Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PA18CRR50NASA is a compact and reliable retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for non-contact object detection in industrial automation, conveying and machine control applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PA18 series, it combines a space-saving M18 cylindrical plastic housing with complementary transistor outputs and an integral cable connection.
The sensor operates with a suitable reflector, transmitting modulated light towards the reflector and monitoring the returned beam. When an object interrupts the optical path, the output changes state, enabling reliable detection of products, packages and components without mechanical contact.
With a sensing distance of up to 5000 mm, a 10–30 V DC supply, complementary NPN NO + NC outputs and an integral 2 m cable, the PA18CRR50NASA provides a flexible sensing solution for conveyors, packaging equipment, material handling systems and automated production machinery.

Reliable Retro-Reflective Detection for Industrial Machinery
Retro-reflective photoelectric sensors transmit light towards a separate reflector and monitor the returned beam. When an object passes between the sensor and reflector, the optical path is interrupted and the output changes state, allowing automated equipment to detect products and materials without physical contact.
The PA18CRR50NASA combines a long sensing distance with complementary NPN outputs, radial optics and direct cable connection. Its compact M18 format makes it a practical choice for machine builders and automation engineers requiring reliable presence, counting and position detection within industrial equipment.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor object and package detection.
- Packaging and bottling machinery.
- Material handling and logistics systems.
- Product counting and presence detection.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Machine position and process monitoring.
- General industrial automation and machine building.
