The KEYENCE EZ - 18M is a high - precision proximity sensor designed for industrial automation. As a buried, threaded M18 - shaped sensor, it effectively detects ferrous metals, with a standard target of 18 x 18 mm (iron, t = 1mm). Boasting a response frequency of 350 Hz, it ensures quick and accurate detection, crucial for high - speed production lines. The operation mode (N.O./N.C.) offers flexibility, adapting to diverse control requirements in automation processes, making it ideal for tasks like part positioning or presence detection.
Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, the EZ - 18M features an IP67 enclosure rating, providing excellent dust and water resistance. Its nickel - plated brass case material enhances durability, while resisting vibrations (10 – 55 Hz, 1.5 mm double amplitude in X, Y, Z directions for 2 hours). This robust construction ensures reliable performance even in challenging conditions, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs, and guaranteeing long - term usability in industrial settings.
Equipped with an NPN transistor output (maximum 100 mA, 40 V), the EZ - 18M offers stable control output with a residual voltage of only 1 V. Its design allows seamless integration into various industrial automation systems, providing efficient detection for applications such as conveyor belt monitoring or machine tool automation. The sensor’s reliable performance and versatile output configuration make it a valuable asset for enhancing productivity and precision in industrial operations.
