Pro-Range CLJ-C18-5ANA NPN Inductive Proximity Sensor - 5mm Detection, 18x18mm
The Pro-Range CLJ-C18-5ANA is an NPN normally-open inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation, providing non-contact detection of ferrous metal targets within a 5mm range. Its compact 18x18mm form factor and robust protection features make it compatible with PLCs, CNC machines, and other industrial control systems.
Features
- NPN Normally-Open (NO) output configuration for standard PLC sinking input compatibility.
- 5mm nominal detection distance for precise, non-contact sensing of ferrous metals.
- Compact 18x18mm threaded barrel housing for easy integration into machinery.
- Built-in polarity and short-circuit protection for enhanced electrical durability.
- High-speed response time suitable for fast-moving production line applications.

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.
