Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1808NPOPL Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1808NPOPL is a robust M18 thermoplastic inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI18 sensor range, this long-body sensor combines an extended sensing range with an NPN switching output and factory-fitted cable for straightforward integration into industrial equipment.
The EI1808NPOPL provides a nominal sensing distance of 8 mm and features an NPN normally open (NO), 3-wire output. Its non-flush inductive sensing design detects metallic objects without physical contact, helping minimise mechanical wear while providing dependable switching for repetitive position, presence and machine-status detection.
Operating from a 10–40 V DC supply, the sensor supports a maximum output current of 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 400 Hz. Its long M18 threaded thermoplastic housing, factory-fitted 2 m cable and IP67 protection make it well suited to demanding industrial automation applications.
