Leuze IS D18MM/2NC-8E0-M12 Inductive switch

Leuze IS D18MM/2NC-8E0-M12 Inductive switch is a compact 18 mm diameter, two normally closed outputs (2NC) inductive sensor with M12-style connector, suitable for non-contact position and end-of-travel sensing in harsh industrial environments. It is designed for reliable metal-detection coupling and quick integration in machine frames, offering robust IP-rated protection and compatibility with standard conductive wiring in harsh factory settings. Typical applications include linear actuators, gate or door interlocks, and machinery safeguarding where metal presence or proximity detection is required. Key features and characteristics: - Sensing principle: inductive proximity switch (metal object sensing) with two NC outputs, suitable for simple end-of-travel or basic position sensing. - Mounting: 18 mm diameter housing with standard mounting options (e.g., through-hole or panel mounting) and M12 connector for easy field installation. - Electrical: two normally closed outputs; compatible with standard industrial control wiring; typical supply and load arrangements per sensor data. Optimum for simple ON/OFF logic in automation panels. - Electrical safety and standards: designed for industrial environments and compatible with typical machine safety circuits; refer to official datasheet for exact voltage/current ratings, response time, and leakage details. - Conductor types/sizes: suitable for standard shielded/unshielded industrial cables with M12 connectors; check datasheet for allowed cable cross-sections and insulation ratings. - Durability: compact, robust housing intended for factory floor use; refer to official documentation for IP rating and mechanical endurance specs. - Notable notes: see the manufacturer’s documentation for exact electrical limits, wiring diagrams, and mounting tolerances to ensure proper integration with safety interlock or control logic.
