Pro-Range CLJ-A18M-5APA PNP M18 Inductive Proximity Sensor - 5mm Detection
The Pro-Range CLJ-A18M-5APA is an M18-threaded inductive proximity sensor with a 5mm detection range and PNP (sourcing) output, designed for non-contact detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metal targets in industrial automation, machinery, and PLC control systems.
Features
- M18 threaded cylindrical housing for robust industrial mounting
- 5mm nominal detection distance for precise metal object sensing
- PNP (sourcing) output compatible with PLCs and 10-30V DC control systems
- Inductive sensing principle detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals
- Built-in polarity and short-circuit protection for enhanced reliability

The CLJ-A18M-5APA operates on the inductive sensing principle, generating an electromagnetic field from its face. When a conductive metal object enters this field, it induces eddy currents, causing a change in the sensor’s internal oscillation circuit. This change is processed to switch the PNP output, providing a clean, digital signal for detection and control logic.
Constructed with a nickel-plated brass or stainless steel housing and sealed to IP67 standards, this sensor is built for harsh industrial environments involving dust, oil, and coolants. Its fast response time and high repeatability make it suitable for high-speed counting, position verification, and limit switching applications on automated assembly lines, CNC machines, and material handling systems.
