The Festo SIEH-M18B-NS-K-L is an inductive proximity sensor that detects metal objects without physical contact. It is created for everyday industrial automation tasks that require simple, reliable object detection. With an M18 threaded barrel and an 8 mm sensing distance, it fits easily into standard mounting positions on machines, conveyors, and fixtures. This sensor operates on a 10 to 30 V DC supply and uses an NPN normally open output, making it suitable for common PLC and control system inputs.

Crucial Features and Benefits of the Festo NPN/NO Inductive Threaded Barrel Proximity Sensor

Inductive sensors like this one detect metal targets by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. When a metal object enters that field, the sensor switches its output. There is no contact, no wear, and no mechanical movement, which makes it reliable for continuous operation.

  • Detects metal targets only.
  • No physical contact with the object.
  • Stable switching during repeated cycles.
  • M18 threaded housing.
  • 8 mm nominal sensing distance.
  • Flush or near-flush mounting options (application dependent).

Mechanical Design and Installation

The M18 threaded barrel design allows for easy mounting using standard lock nuts. Once installed, the sensor stays firmly in place even in vibrating machinery. The compact cylindrical body makes it suitable for tight spaces where larger sensors cannot be used.

Electrical Output and Control Compatibility

The NPN normally open output provides a simple switching signal that integrates easily with control systems. When a metal object is detected, the output switches, allowing the controller to trigger the next action in the process.

This sensor is often used with:

  • PLC digital input modules
  • Machine control panels
  • Industrial automation systems

Application Potential of the Proximity Sensor

  • Conveyor position detection
  • Part presence sensing on assembly lines
  • Machine end-position monitoring
  • Automated packaging and handling systems
