Why Choose the EMAS SIQ18FP1RC7 Square Inductive Sensor?
The EMAS SIQ18FP1RC7 is a compact and reliable 18 mm square inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the EMAS SIQ Series square inductive sensor range, it combines a durable plastic housing with a PNP normally closed (PNP-NC) switching output and a generous 7 m cable for flexible installation.
This flush-mount inductive sensor provides a 5 mm nominal sensing distance and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply. Its contactless sensing principle eliminates mechanical contact with the target, reducing wear and making it particularly suitable for repetitive position detection, machine sequencing, component counting and presence sensing applications.
With an 800 Hz switching frequency and IP67 protection rating, the SIQ18FP1RC7 provides fast and dependable sensing in industrial environments. Its compact 18 mm square format can be flush mounted into suitable machinery, while the extended 7 m cable is particularly useful where the sensor must be installed some distance from the associated control panel or junction point.
