Description

The CLJ-C18-5ANA operates on the inductive sensing principle, generating an electromagnetic field from its sensing face. When a conductive (primarily ferrous) metal object enters this field, it induces eddy currents that are detected by the sensor’s internal oscillator, triggering a change in the NPN transistor output state. This provides a reliable digital signal for object detection, counting, or positioning without physical wear.

Engineered for harsh industrial environments, the sensor features a robust metal housing and integrated protection circuits. Its design ensures stable operation across typical industrial voltage ranges and offers high immunity to electrical noise, making it a dependable component for automated machinery, material handling, and safety interlocks.

Key Features

  • Inductive sensing principle for reliable, wear-free detection of ferrous metals.
  • NPN normally-open output provides a low signal (sink) when a target is detected.
  • Compact M12-equivalent 18mm threaded barrel for secure panel or bracket mounting.
  • Integrated reverse polarity and output short-circuit protection for installation safety.
  • High switching frequency and fast response time for high-speed automation tasks.
  • Durable metal construction designed for longevity in industrial settings.
  • LED status indicator for visual confirmation of target detection and power.

Applications

  • Object detection and counting on conveyor belts and assembly lines.
  • End-of-travel or position limit sensing in CNC machines and robotic arms.
  • Presence verification of metal parts in automated packaging and sorting systems.
  • Safety interlock detection for machine guarding and access doors.
  • Rotational speed monitoring via detection of gear teeth or keyways.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output type of the CLJ-C18-5ANA sensor and how do I wire it?

The CLJ-C18-5ANA has an NPN Normally Open (NO) output. Connect the brown wire to your DC positive supply (10-30V), the blue wire to DC negative (0V), and the black wire is the signal output. When a metal target is detected, the NPN transistor sinks, pulling the black wire low towards ground.

What metals can this inductive proximity sensor detect?

This sensor is primarily designed to detect ferrous metals like steel and iron. It may also detect other conductive metals like aluminum and copper, but the effective sensing distance will be reduced. Non-conductive materials like plastic, wood, or glass will not be detected.

What is the recommended supply voltage and how do I protect the sensor during installation?

Operate the sensor within a typical DC voltage range of 10-30V. The built-in polarity protection guards against reverse connection, but always ensure correct wiring. For inductive loads (like relays or solenoids), use a flyback diode across the load to protect the sensor's output transistor from voltage spikes.
