Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1805TBOPL Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1805TBOPL is a robust M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI series, it combines a long-body thermoplastic polyester housing with a two-wire SCR normally open output and integral cable connection.
Using inductive sensing technology, the EI1805TBOPL detects metallic objects without requiring physical contact. Its 5 mm rated operating distance and flush-mountable configuration make it suitable for machine positioning, component presence detection, end-position monitoring and automated process sequencing.
The EI1805TBOPL operates from a 20–250 V AC supply, supports an output current up to 500 mA and has a maximum switching frequency of 25 Hz. A 2 m integral cable, -25 to +70 °C operating range and IP67 protection provide a dependable sensing solution for industrial machinery and automation systems.

Reliable Inductive Detection for AC Control Systems
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and responding when a conductive target enters the detection zone. Since the target does not need to physically contact the sensor, this technology provides a durable alternative to mechanically actuated switches in repetitive industrial applications.
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1805TBOPL combines this proven sensing principle with a flush-mountable M18 housing and two-wire SCR switching. Its 5 mm sensing distance provides precise metal detection, while the 20–250 V AC supply range enables direct integration with compatible AC industrial control circuits.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- End-position and travel monitoring.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Automated assembly machinery.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Factory automation and process sequencing.
- OEM machinery using compatible AC control circuits.
