LM18 Analog inductive Proximity Sensor
KSH 700.00
In Stock
The LM18 series is a cylindrical, analog inductive proximity sensor designed to detect metallic objects without physical contact. It is commonly used in industrial automation for position sensing, speed monitoring, and metal part detection. The "LM" designation indicates it is an inductive sensor [citation:2].
