Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI3015NPOSL Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI3015NPOSL is a robust M30 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI30 series, it combines a long-body stainless steel cylindrical threaded housing with an NPN normally open output for integration with PLCs, machine controllers and industrial control equipment.
The sensor provides a rated operating distance of 15 mm and uses a non-flush, unshielded sensing configuration, providing an extended detection range for metallic targets. Its contactless inductive operating principle eliminates physical contact with the target, reducing mechanical wear while supporting reliable repetitive presence, position and component detection.
With a 10–40 V DC supply, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 100 Hz, the EI3015NPOSL is well suited to general industrial automation. Its stainless steel M30 housing, 2 m integral cable, LED indication and IP67 protection rating support dependable operation in demanding production and machine-building environments.

Reliable Long-Range 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 no physical contact is required, the EI3015NPOSL provides repetitive sensing without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-operated limit switches.
The EI3015NPOSL combines an extended 15 mm sensing distance with a 100 Hz maximum switching frequency and NPN normally open output. Its non-flush M30 design, stainless steel construction, protected electronics and integral cable make it a dependable choice for machine builders and industrial automation engineers requiring robust metal detection over an increased sensing distance.
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.
