Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1805PPOPS Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1805PPOPS is a compact M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI series, it combines a thermoplastic polyester cylindrical housing with a PNP normally open output for straightforward integration with PLCs and industrial control equipment.
The sensor provides a 5 mm sensing distance and uses a shielded mounting configuration, allowing accurate detection of metallic targets in compact machine installations. Inductive sensing operates without physical contact, reducing mechanical wear and providing dependable repetitive switching for presence, position and component detection.
With a 10–40 V DC supply, 500 Hz response frequency and a 3-wire PNP normally open output, the EI1805PPOPS is well suited to general industrial automation. Its short M18 housing, 2 m integral cable, LED indication and IP67 protection rating provide a practical sensing solution for machine builders and automation engineers.

Reliable Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets by generating an electromagnetic sensing field and responding when metal enters that field. As no physical contact is required, the EI1805PPOPS can perform repetitive switching operations without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-operated limit switches.
The EI1805PPOPS combines a 5 mm sensing distance, 500 Hz response frequency and PNP normally open output in a compact M18 package. Its cable connection, LED indication and IP67 enclosure make it suitable for reliable integration into automated production machinery and industrial control systems.
Typical Applications
