Why Choose the EMAS SIQ18NP1NC7 Inductive Sensor?
The EMAS SIQ18NP1NC7 is a compact 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, it provides a practical alternative to conventional cylindrical proximity sensors where a rectangular housing is better suited to the available mounting space.
This sensor features an M18-class sensing format, NPN normally-open (NPN-NO) output and non-flush sensing configuration. Inductive sensing technology enables metallic targets to be detected without physical contact, helping reduce mechanical wear while providing repeatable switching for position, presence and machine-status monitoring.
The SIQ18NP1NC7 is supplied with an integral 7 m cable, making it particularly useful where the sensor must be installed some distance from the associated control panel, junction box or PLC input. Its combination of non-contact sensing, NPN output and extended cable makes it a practical choice for industrial machines, conveyors and automated production equipment.

Reliable Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect conductive metallic objects using an electromagnetic sensing field. When a suitable metal target enters the active sensing zone, the sensor changes its electrical output without requiring mechanical contact, allowing machine controllers to monitor component presence and position reliably.
The EMAS SIQ18NP1NC7 combines this wear-free sensing principle with a compact square housing, non-flush sensing arrangement and NPN normally-open output. Its integral 7 m cable provides additional installation flexibility where longer wiring distances are required between the sensing point and industrial control equipment.
