Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI3015NPOPS Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI3015NPOPS is a reliable M30 inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the established Carlo Gavazzi EI30 series, it combines a thermoplastic short-body housing with a three-wire NPN normally open output for straightforward integration with compatible PLCs, controllers and industrial automation equipment.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 15 mm and uses a non-flush / unshielded mounting configuration, providing extended sensing capability where greater clearance between the sensor and target is required. Its inductive sensing principle detects metallic objects without physical contact, reducing mechanical wear compared with conventional limit switches and supporting reliable repetitive operation.
With a rated power supply of 10–40 V DC, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 100 Hz, the EI3015NPOPS is well suited to industrial position, presence and movement detection. Its factory-fitted 2 m cable, compact thermoplastic construction and IP67 protection rating provide a practical sensing solution for demanding automation applications.
