{"product_id":"industrial-si18-c5-sensor","title":"Industrial SI18-C5 Sensor","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eAECO SI18-C5 PNP NC inductive sensor is a compact M18-threaded proximity switch with a nominal 5 mm sensing distance and a normally closed PNP output, designed for fast, reliable metal detection in automation lines. It accepts a 10–30 VDC supply, draws less than 15 mA at 24 V, and can source up to 200 mA while providing short‑circuit and overload protection. Key electrical specs include a maximum output voltage drop of under 1.8 V, a switching frequency up to 1000 Hz, hysteresis under 10%, and repeatability at or below 3%. The device employs an M18x1 threaded housing and IP67 protection, making it suitable for challenging industrial environments. The sensing characteristics are specified as Sn = 5 mm, Sr = 5 ± 10%, and So = 0 ÷ 4.05 mm, enabling precise sensing of metal targets within a compact form factor. This sensor belongs to AECO S.r.l.’s SI18-C5 family and is aimed at applications such as position indication, end-of-travel sensing, and process automation on conveyors, robotic pick-and-place systems, and other metal-detection tasks where a NC PNP switch is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AECO","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":51657043050798,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/Ebay_website_image_0f006fc2-91be-48bb-a99c-5f70bc539405.jpg?v=1769465482","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/industrial-si18-c5-sensor","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
