Why Choose the EMAS SIM18FM1OC2 Inductive Sensor?
The EMAS SIM18FM1OC2 is an industrial M18 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in machinery and automation systems. Part of the EMAS SIM Series, this cylindrical sensor combines a robust metal housing with an NPN normally closed (NC) transistor output for integration with compatible PLC and machine-control inputs.
The SIM18FM1OC2 uses a non-flush / non-embeddable sensing configuration, allowing the sensing field to extend beyond the active face for effective metal detection. Its threaded M18 format provides straightforward mechanical installation and adjustment, making it suitable for position, presence and component-detection duties throughout automated machinery.
With solid-state inductive sensing, the SIM18FM1OC2 detects metallic objects without physical contact. This eliminates mechanical wear at the sensing point and supports dependable repetitive operation in production machinery, conveyors, material handling systems and other industrial automation applications.

Reliable Non-Flush Inductive Detection for Automation
The EMAS SIM18FM1OC2 operates by producing an electromagnetic sensing field at its active face. When a suitable metallic object enters this field, the sensor detects the resulting change and switches its electronic output. This enables reliable machine monitoring without requiring the sensor to make physical contact with the target.
Its non-flush configuration allows the electromagnetic field to extend around the sensing face and requires suitable clearance from surrounding metal during installation. Combined with its M18 threaded metal body and NPN normally closed output, the SIM18FM1OC2 provides a practical sensing solution for repetitive industrial automation duties.
