Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1808PPOSL Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1808PPOSL is a robust M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI18 series, it combines a long-body stainless steel cylindrical threaded housing with a PNP normally open output for straightforward integration with PLCs, machine controllers and industrial control equipment.
The sensor provides a rated operating distance of 8 mm and uses a non-flush, unshielded sensing configuration, providing extended detection range for metallic targets. Its contactless inductive operating principle reduces mechanical wear and supports reliable repetitive position, presence and component detection in automated equipment.
With a 10–40 V DC rated power supply, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 400 Hz, the EI1808PPOSL provides responsive sensing for industrial automation. Its stainless steel M18 housing, 2 m integral cable, LED indication and IP67 protection rating make it suitable for demanding machine-building and production environments.

Reliable Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic sensing field and responding when a metal target enters the detection area. Because sensing takes place without physical contact, the EI1808PPOSL provides repetitive detection without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-operated limit switches.
The EI1808PPOSL combines an extended 8 mm sensing distance with a 400 Hz maximum switching frequency and PNP normally open output. Its non-flush stainless steel M18 construction, protected electronics and integral cable make it a dependable choice for machine builders and industrial automation engineers.
Typical Applications
- Metal component presence detection.
- Machine position and end-of-travel sensing.
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Counting and positioning of metallic components.
- OEM machinery and PLC-controlled automation systems.
