Keyence EV-118F

The Keyence EV-118F Main Unit is a spatter-resistant, shielded proximity sensor designed for industrial applications. Featuring a robust M18 design, this sensor ensures reliable detection of ferrous metals with a detecting distance of 5.0 mm ±10%. The sensor operates in a normally open (N.O.) mode and offers a high response frequency of 350 Hz, making it suitable for fast-paced environments.

Engineered for durability, the EV-118F is equipped with a fluoro-chemical-coated brass case that provides excellent resistance to harsh conditions. The sensor is rated IP67, ensuring protection against dust and water ingress. It can operate within a wide ambient temperature range of -25 to +80°C and withstands vibrations and shocks, adhering to rigorous industrial standards.

The EV-118F includes essential protection circuits such as reversed polarity, short-circuit, and surge voltage protection, ensuring reliable performance and longevity. The sensor is powered by a 12 to 24 VDC supply with a ripple of 20% or less and has a low current consumption of 1.0 mA max. The 2-meter cable length facilitates flexible installation in various setups.

Applications for the EV-118F include detecting ferrous metals in manufacturing processes, automated assembly lines, and other industrial environments where spatter resistance and reliable performance are critical.
