Why Choose the EMAS SIQ18FP1OC7 Square Inductive Sensor?
The EMAS SIQ18FP1OC7 is a compact 18 mm square inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the EMAS SIQ Series square inductive sensor range, it features a flush sensing arrangement, NPN normally-closed output and a generous 7 m pre-wired cable for flexible installation.
This sensor provides dependable metallic target detection without mechanical contact, helping minimise component wear and supporting repeatable machine operation. Its compact square plastic housing is particularly useful where installation space or mounting geometry makes a conventional cylindrical proximity sensor less convenient.
With a nominal sensing distance of 5 mm, a 10–30 V DC operating voltage and a switching frequency of 800 Hz, the SIQ18FP1OC7 provides responsive detection for position monitoring, component presence sensing, machine sequencing and automated material handling applications.

Reliable Non-Contact Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect conductive metallic targets by generating an electromagnetic sensing field. When a suitable metal object enters the sensing range, the sensor changes its electrical output state without requiring physical contact, enabling reliable position and presence detection while reducing mechanical wear.
The EMAS SIQ18FP1OC7 combines a compact square housing with flush sensing, a 5 mm detection distance and NPN normally-closed output. Its 7 m cable is particularly useful where the sensor must be installed some distance from the associated control panel, junction box or PLC input.
Typical Applications
- Machine position and end-of-travel detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and assembly machinery.
- Automated production equipment.
- Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
- PLC-controlled industrial automation.
