Why Choose the EMAS SIQ18NP1OC2 Inductive Sensor?
The EMAS SIQ18NP1OC2 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 sensing solution where a square housing is preferable to a conventional cylindrical proximity sensor.
This sensor features an M18-class sensing format, NPN normally-closed (NPN-NC) output and non-flush sensing configuration. Its inductive operating principle detects metallic targets without physical contact, helping reduce mechanical wear while providing repeatable switching for position, presence and machine-status monitoring.
The SIQ18NP1OC2 is supplied with an integral 2 m cable for straightforward connection to compatible PLC inputs, machine controllers and automation equipment. Its non-flush sensing arrangement makes it suitable for applications where the active sensing face can be installed with appropriate clearance from surrounding metal.

Reliable Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect conductive metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic sensing field at the active face. When a suitable metal target enters this field, the sensor changes its electrical output state without requiring physical contact, enabling reliable monitoring of component position and presence.
The EMAS SIQ18NP1OC2 combines this wear-free sensing principle with a compact square housing and NPN normally-closed output. Its non-flush configuration and integral 2 m cable make it a practical choice for permanent installation in automated machinery, conveyors and industrial production equipment.
