Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1808TBOSS Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1808TBOSS 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 short-body stainless steel cylindrical threaded housing with a two-wire SCR normally open output for use in industrial AC control applications.
The sensor provides a rated operating distance of 8 mm and is designed for flush, shielded mounting, allowing compact installation within surrounding metal. Its inductive sensing principle detects metallic targets without physical contact, reducing mechanical wear while providing dependable repetitive presence, position and end-of-travel sensing.
With a 20–250 V AC rated power supply, maximum output current of 500 mA and maximum switching frequency of 25 Hz, the EI1808TBOSS is designed for integration with compatible industrial AC control circuits. Its stainless steel construction, 2 m integral cable, yellow LED indication and IP67 protection rating support reliable operation in demanding machine 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 EI1808TBOSS provides repetitive switching without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-operated limit switches.
The EI1808TBOSS combines an 8 mm sensing distance with flush mounting and a two-wire SCR output for AC circuits. Its compact stainless steel M18 construction, integral cable, protected electronics and IP67 enclosure make it a dependable choice for machine builders and industrial automation engineers requiring robust metal detection.
