Why Choose the EMAS SIQ18NP1NC2 Square Inductive Sensor?
The EMAS SIQ18NP1NC2 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 an NPN normally open (NPN-NO) switching output and a 2 m cable for straightforward integration into industrial control systems.
This non-flush inductive sensor provides an 8 mm nominal sensing distance and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply. Its contactless sensing principle eliminates physical contact with the target, reducing mechanical wear and making it particularly suitable for repetitive position detection, machine sequencing, component counting and presence sensing applications.
With a 400 Hz switching frequency and IP67 protection rating, the SIQ18NP1NC2 provides responsive and dependable sensing in industrial environments. Its compact square format, extended non-flush sensing distance and 2 m wired connection make it a practical solution for machinery, production equipment and automated systems.
