Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1808TBOSL Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1808TBOSL is a robust M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation and machine control applications. Part of the proven Carlo Gavazzi EI18 inductive sensor series, it combines a stainless steel threaded housing, long-body construction and a pre-wired cable connection for dependable installation in industrial machinery.
This sensor provides an 8 mm rated operating distance with a two-wire SCR normally open (NO) output. Its cylindrical M18 format provides a familiar and practical mounting arrangement for position, presence and machine-state detection, while contactless inductive sensing helps eliminate the mechanical wear associated with conventional limit switches.
With a 20–250 V AC supply range, maximum output current of 500 mA, maximum switching frequency of 25 Hz and IP67 protection, the EI1808TBOSL is well suited to conveyors, production machinery, material handling systems and general factory automation where reliable metallic target detection is required.
