WENGLOR I18H028 inductive sensor

Wenglor Inductive Sensor 8mm M18 I18H028 Description The Wenglor I18H028 is a high-performance inductive sensor designed for reliable object detection in demanding industrial environments. It features an increased switching distance of 8mm and is designed for flush mounting in an M18 threaded housing. With its robust metal construction and standard M12 connector, it ensures easy integration and long-term durability for all automation needs. This sensor is ideal for detecting metallic objects with high precision and repeatability. Specifications Model: I18H028 Type: Inductive Proximity Sensor Switching Distance: 8 mm Mounting: Flush Housing: M18 x 1, Chrome-Plated Brass Operating Voltage: 10 to 30 V DC Switching Output: PNP, Normally Open (NO) Switching Current: 150 mA Protection: Short-circuit and reverse polarity protected Connection: M12x1 Connector, 4-pin Label Info Brand: Wenglor Model Number: I18H028 Application Ideal for a wide range of automation tasks such as part detection on conveyor belts, position sensing in machinery, and end-of-travel monitoring in linear systems. Its reliability makes it suitable for use in packaging, automotive, and material handling industries. Country of Origin Made in Romania. CO2 Impact Choosing this repurposed Wenglor sensor helps reduce environmental impact. By reusing this component, you are helping to avoid 2.4 kg of CO2 emissions, which would have been generated in the production of a new one. This saving is comparable to driving an average car for 12 kilometers. Availability This item is in stock and ready for immediate dispatch.

FAQ What is the switching output of the Wenglor I18H028?This sensor features a PNP Normally Open (NO) switching output, which is a common sourcing output type used in industrial control systems, particularly with PLCs. Can this sensor be used for detecting non-ferrous metals like aluminum?Yes, but with a reduced sensing range. The I18H028 has a nominal switching distance of 8mm for steel. For aluminum, the correction factor is approximately 0.45, resulting in a sensing distance of about 3.6mm. What does the ‘flush’ mounting specification mean for installation?Flush mounting means the sensing face of the I18H028 can be installed level with the surrounding metal mounting surface without affecting its performance. This is ideal for applications where the sensor needs to be protected or embedded.
