Eaton Prism 18mm Tubular Photoelectric Sensor, Right Angle
The Eaton Prism 18mm Tubular Photoelectric Sensor is a right-angle, polarized retroreflective sensor built with a structural polyurethane foam enclosure for durability in demanding industrial environments. Featuring an isolated solid-state relay output, a 10-30 Vdc input voltage, and a 6.6 ft (2 m) cable connection, this sensor delivers reliable object detection for automation and machine-control applications. It carries multiple NEMA environmental ratings (NEMA 1, NEMA 3, NEMA 4, NEMA 4X, NEMA 6, NEMA 6P, NEMA 12, NEMA 13) and is cUL Recognized, making it suitable for washdown and harsh-duty settings. Note: a compatible retroreflector is required for a complete system and is sold separately.
Key Features
- Compact 18mm Tubular Housing: Right-angle body style measuring .71 in wide, .47 in deep, and 2.75 in tall for space-constrained mounting.
- Durable Construction: Structural polyurethane foam enclosure body for long-term reliability in industrial settings.
- Polarized Retroreflective Sensing: Photoelectric switch type operating in polarized retroreflective mode for accurate object detection; retroreflector sold separately.
