SIM18FM1PC2, EMAS, inductive sensor M18, 5 mm, Cable 2 m, NO, PNP

SIM18FM1PC2 is an inductive sensor made by EMAS. According to the source data, the design is characterised by the parameters M18, 5mm, PNP, NO, 10-30 VDC, cable 2m.

When choosing an industrial sensor, it is advisable to compare the exact order code and all parameters that affect mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Typical applications

Inductive sensors are used for non-contact detection of metal objects, checking the presence of a part, sensing the position of a mechanism, end positions, counting metal components or passing a status signal to the control system. The specific use must match the electrical and mechanical parameters of the given type.

Technical specifications

How to choose the right variant

Before ordering, compare in particular the size and design of the housing, the sensing distance, flush or non-flush face, the output type, contact function, supply and connection method. If you are replacing an existing sensor, start primarily from the exact order code and the parameters of the original device.

FAQ

What type of sensor is SIM18FM1PC2?
According to the source data, it is an inductive sensor made by EMAS. The exact design is given in the technical specifications table.

How to choose the right replacement for SIM18FM1PC2?
Compare the order code, mechanical design, sensing distance, output type, NO/NC function, supply and connection method.

What is an inductive sensor used for?
For non-contact detection of metal objects, checking the position or presence of a part and passing a signal to the automation system.

Can the sensor be connected to a PLC?
Yes, if the electrical parameters of the output, the supply and the PLC input match the data of the specific model. These values must be compared before wiring.

What is the difference between PNP and NPN versions?
They differ in the way the output switches. When replacing a sensor, the output type required by the wiring and the control system input must be kept.

What do NO and NC mean?
NO is the normally open function and NC the normally closed function. When replacing a sensor, the function must match the original wiring and the machine logic.

What should be checked before ordering?
The exact code, housing size, sensing distance, flush or non-flush design, electrical output, contact, supply, connector or cable, and environmental conditions.
